Elton John performed the final show on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in Stockholm on Saturday night, wrapping up a four-year endeavor. It was the last show that he will play as part of a larger tour, though Elton left the door open for “one-off” events in the future.
Coldplay were also playing in Sweden last night, in Gothenburg, and they beamed in a message across the country during Elton’s final show. “From all the bands and artists you’ve helped and inspired, we love you so much,” Chris Martin said in the video message. “We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for the AIDS Foundation, anytime you’ve been kind to anybody.”
Before Coldplay linked into Elton’s show, they covered “Rocket Man,” which they’ve only played live once before back in 2012. Watch video and check out a setlist for Elton John’s final farewell show below.
