The 70-year-old musician announced his retirement during an event held in New York City on Wednesday.
“My priorities have changed in my life,” John explained. “My priorities now are my children, my husband, my family. I thought the time is right to say thank you to my fans and say goodbye.”
He stresses that his decision has nothing to do with his health.
His tour spans over 300 dates and touches down on nearly every continent.
The tour dubbed “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” kicks off in North American in September.
He’ll play the Smoothie King Center December 6th.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale Thursday, January 25th.
