Sir Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour has announced a further five stadium concerts in the UK in 2022.

The 74-year-old star will perform in Norwich, Liverpool, Sunderland and Bristol, concluding in Swansea on 29 June 2022.

The singer was forced to postpone a string of dates last year because of the pandemic.

Tour dates announced for 2022 will also include a number of European cities, with performances scheduled in Paris, Frankfurt and Milan - before winding up the year with back-to-back performances at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on 19 and 20 November.

In January 2023, Sir Elton will travel to New Zealand for two shows, continuing on to Australia where the four-year tour will formally come to an end.

"The shows that I announce today will be my final tour dates ever in North America and Europe," says Sir Elton.

"I'm going to go out in the biggest possible way - performing at my very best, with the most spectacular production I've ever had, playing in places that have meant so much to me throughout my career."
