About this listen

In this lavish retrospective authored by the icon himself, Elton John shares his fondest memories, most unforgettable moments, and previously untold stories from his record-breaking final tour.

Farewell Yellow Brick Road is a celebration of Elton John's record-breaking, globe-spanning farewell tour—from Allentown to Auckland, from Sydney to San Francisco. Featured concerts include Elton’s dazzling performances at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in November 2022, the finale of which streamed live on Disney+. Fans will be treated to a behind-the-scenes glimpse into every aspect of these spectacular shows, including Elton’s legendary touring wardrobe by Gucci, the set design, official photography, and more.

As the tour weaves across the world, Elton reaches back in time to reflect on key moments from his life on the road and to reminisce about the beginning of his career. A poignant foreword by David Furnish, Elton’s husband and manager, as well as the tour’s creative director, rounds out this incredible insider’s look. Join Elton on his remarkable, career-affirming farewell.

Narrated by: Richard Armitage (voice of Elton John), Daniel Henning (voice of David Furnish, Kim Bullard), Ray Porter (voice of Davey Johnstone), John Lee (voice of Ray Cooper, Luke Lloyd Davies), Mike Cooper (voice of Nigel Olsson), Jesse Einstein (voice of John Mahon, Keith Bradley, Dale Sticha), Fred Berman (voice of Matt Bissonette), Oliver Wyman (voice of Alan Richardson, Kevin Bye), Kevin T. Collins (voice of Matt Herr), Mark Boyett (voice of Michael Gomez), Peter Ganim (voice of John Steer), Edoardo Ballerini and Vikas Adam.

Disappointing

I was so bored, and even slightly depressed by this book, that I gave up part way through and returned it. Even Richard Armitage reading it couldn't save it, as even he sounded somewhat bored by it. I expected somehing a bit more exciting from a rock star.

The whole thing seemed to be about someone who is completely self-obsessed, and that got monotonous. The only bit I found somewhat interesting by the time I stopped torturing myself was the tale of John Lennon coming on stage with Elton shortly before he was murdered.

I would say it's probably a great read for dyed-in-the-wool Elton fans for whom he can do no wrong but, while I really like a lot of his music, that's just not me.
