Sir Elton John ’s tour has become the highest grossing of all time and could net him a billion dollars.
He just became the biggest earner ever taking home a staggering $817.9million (£663.44m) with his latest Oceania leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
With at least 50 European dates to come in 2023, including 10 nights at London’s O2 Arena and a headline set Glastonbury Festival, his estimated earnings are as much as $1billion.
Elton’s epic tour began in North America and included 42 performances in 2018, then 111 more in 2019 and another 25 in 2020 before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic halted the tour.
He completed 93 concerts in 2022, capping a blockbuster year on the road with three sold-out shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in November.

The 75-year-old has beaten pal Ed Sheeran, who held the record with his Divide tour for four years with $775.6m (£629.13m). Other acts in the top 10 include U2, The Rolling Stones and Coldplay.
Recently Elton’s husband David Furnish admitted he is already eyeing up more work.
David said: “It’s really important to make a distinction between Elton retiring from touring but not playing his last public performance.

“Will Elton return as a live performer? I hope so!
“What you’re going to see is the possibility of a special one-off or a small residency in one venue for a limited period of time.
“When you’re an artist and something’s in your blood, you don’t want to shut the door completely.”
