Elton John Announces Final ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ North American Tour Dates

By Althea Legaspi

Althea Legaspi

Elton John has announced the final shows for the North American leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour , which run through November.

The 11 new tour dates include additional shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Phoenix, Arizona; Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. A third show has also been added to his run at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Tickets for the new slate of concerts go on sale April 6 at 10 a.m. local time via John’s website , with a limited number of VIP packages and American Express card member presale tickets available beginning on March 30 at 10 a.m. local time.

“It’s hard to believe that after tomorrow in St. Louis, I’ll have just a handful of shows left before I wrap up my final arena performances in the United States,” John said in a statement. “This year will see my grand finale in North America, playing stadiums all around the country, with the most spectacular production I’ve ever had. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I cherish these memories we’re making together. It has been nothing short of incredible and I look forward to seeing you very soon one last time, on my Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.”

John’s epic farewell tour has experienced some bumps along the way, including the postponement of two Dallas shows in January after the musician was diagnosed with Covid-19. At the time, he had just resumed his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour  after a nearly two-year delay  caused by the pandemic , as well as an  ill-timed hip injury .

Earlier this month, the singer shared a new video for “ Finish Line ,” his collaborative track with Stevie Wonder that appears on John’s all-star 2021 album, The Lockdown Sessions .

Artists like Led Zeppelin and Elton John toured around in a Boeing 720 private jet that featured a bar and a waterbed — see inside The Starship

• The Starship was a Boeing 707 variant that carried famous rock artists like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.
• The plane was built in 1960 and flew for United Airlines before being bought and turned into a flying tour bus.
• The jet, which cost $2,500 per hour to rent, had amenities like a fireplace in the bedroom and an electric organ.

The age of rock and roll started in the 1950s with iconic artists like Elvis Presley and Little Richard.

These world-famous musicians pioneered the genre, recording Billboard top hits like Presley's 1956 Heartbreak Hotel, which sold over 300,000 copies in its first week.

These artists inspired other rock groups, like The Beatles, to rise in the 1960s and reshape the genre into the styles we know today.

Source: Britannica , Readers Digest

Bands like Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones took the world by storm, with adorning fans traveling all over to see them play.

With their rise in fame, they set off on month-long tours, parading from show to show in buses and limousines.

However, as the 1970s rolled around and their fame grew, these rock bands wanted to take their wealth and success to new heights.

So, some started chartering a Boeing 707 quad-engine variant, known as "Starship," for a staggering $2,500 per hour, which is about $17,000 today.

Here's a look inside the impressive Boeing private plane that carried some of the most famous rock artists to ever live.

The Starship aircraft was a Boeing 720, which was a variant of the Boeing 707 that was built to fly shorter flights and operate on shorter runways.

Source: Boeing

Delivered to United in October 1960, the Starship was the first-ever Boeing 720 to be built.

The 138-seater plane flew commercially for 13 years before being sold in 1973 and transformed into a rock and roll private jet.

The 720 was purchased by pop singer Bobby Sherman and his manager, Ward Sylvester, for $600,000, which is more than $4 million in 2023.

Source: Dollar Times , Billboard

The pair then started a $200,000 (more than $1.3 million in 2023) project to retrofit the interior of the jet to create an extravagant flying home for world-famous rock bands.

With many grandiose amenities, like a white fur bedspread and an electric organ behind the bar, the plane was the height of luxury.

Big-name artists like Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, and The Allman Brothers Band all chartered the tricked-out jet, which only sat 40 people after the redesign.

Led Zeppelin was the first to use the 720 to travel between cities on their 1973 North American tour, paying Sherman and Sylvester $30,000 (about $200,000 in 2023) to rent it for the remainder of their shows.

Well-known author and photographer Bob Gruen took an iconic portrait of the band in front of the Starship in 1973, telling Insider his photo "sums up the excess of the 70s."

Source: Bob Gruen

"They didn't even have to button their shirts," he said. "A lot of musicians told me that was the goal, to be a guy who just walked around with their shirt open and flew around on their own plane."

He also explained that the jet was a better option for the bands who didn't like the inconvenience of moving hotels and continuously unpacking and repacking.

"With the plane, they could base at one hotel like the Four Seasons in New York and just take a car to the airport, skip security, and commute to work," he said. "It was a much easier way to travel."

Described by Gruen as a "flying tour bus," the jet had myriad spaces to sit back and relax, like a long brass bar…

…an electric organ built into the bar to play live music…

…a 30-foot-long couch…

…a TV and video player…

…plush revolving armchairs…

…a bedroom complete with a king-sized water bed, an electric fireplace, and a standing shower…

…and a first class section with giant loungers and tables.

With the sleek finishes, Zeppelin slapped their band name across the fuselage and put the plane to good use, hosting parties and getting into plenty of shenanigans onboard.

Led Zeppelin's road manager, Richard Cole, told the New York Times in 2003 that there was plenty of alcohol to go around, calling the jet "a floating gin palace."

Source: The New York Times

However, the band's success shined through with the thousands of dollars worth of champagne they had onboard.

"In those days, we went through a phase where we only drank '64 and '66 Dom Pérignon," Cole said. "If we found a good deal we'd have one of the assistants buy several cases and store it on the plane."

The English band was not the only artist to travel in style onboard the custom 720. Deep Purple used the plane in 1974…

…while Elton John used the jet for his tours from 1973 to 1976.

Gruen told Insider that he was onboard the jet with a hungover John, who was not in the mood to do much before his evening show. But, unbeknownst to John, Gruen said the team secretly snuck Stevie Wonder onboard to play the piano.

"Finally, Elton walks to the bar, and Stevie was playing Crocodile Rock or something on the piano, and Elton's mood immediately changed," he said.

While the jet was the height of luxury during its hey day, the 720's poor operating economics and inefficient four engines made it unsustainable.

The plane had a few more years of service with Aeroamerica and Private Jet Services before being parked in London in 1979 and scrapped in 1982.

Despite its short life as a VIP transport aircraft, the Starship will go down in history as one of the most iconic private jets to ever fly.
