ive seen Elton John twice. the second time, more than twenty years ago, i was able to present a rose to him on one knee during the encore.
my friends and i were in the front row and had set up a folding chair up against the stage. it was quite a leap to get up there and i immediately ran for the side of his piano. security rushed in on me rapidly but i was already on one knee reaching out with my head down, so Elton shooed them away.

I've been around enough decades to know that "final farewell" shows tend to be every once in a while rather than one-time affairs.

Haha I was just going to ask how long this tour has been going on because I'm pretty sure he was here several years ago on a "final farewell" tour.

I saw him in Philadelphia in 2019 on his “Farewell” Tour. He has been doing farewell tours for years.

5 years, yes. Started in 2018 and was supposed to run for two and a half years. But then COVID...
