That's pretty amazing," the"Tiny Dancer" singer said during Saturday's performance.he was looking forward to spending time with his family when it was over.

I've been so lucky, and I've loved every single minute of it," he said at the time."But I've had enough of that applause, and I really want … I'll be 76 years of age when I stop touring in 2023. I want to do something different with the rest of my life."
