Elton John announced on Wednesday that he is preparing for a long, final tour that will bring him to Omaha's CenturyLink Center next year.
The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour includes an Omaha performance on February 12, 2019. Tickets go on sale for the general public in North America beginning Friday February 2.
The tour starts in the U.S. on September 8, 2018, reaching Europe in April 2019, Asia in November 2019, Australia in December 2019 and into 2020, South America in March 2020, before returning to Europe and the UK late 2020 and finishing in North America in 2021.
The tour will include more than 300 shows and cap a half century on the road for the performer.
John says he wants to spend more time with his two sons, who will be eight and 10 when the tour ends.
"I don't want to miss them and I don't want them to miss me," he said. Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster outlets and ticketmaster.com.
