Elton John signed off the final US concert of his farewell tour Sunday with a typically flamboyant show in Los Angeles, the city that helped launch him to global fame half a century ago.
John took to the stage of the Dodger Stadium -- the baseball arena that played host to two of his most celebrated, career-defining shows in 1975 -- for what he said was a "very special, very emotional" concert live-streamed on Disney+.
Over the first half of the 1970s, John released countless hit songs, dominating the pop charts with tracks such as "Your Song" and "Tiny Dancer," and honed his extravagant on-stage persona. In a nod to the past, John re-emerged on stage Sunday for the concert's encore dressed in a Dodgers-themed bathrobe and pearl-lined baseball cap.
The career-spanning set, featuring hits from "Crocodile Rock" to "Candle In The Wind," drew raucous cheers and singalongs from about 55,000 fans, many dressed in feather boas, sunglasses and -- of course -- sequins inspired by the singer."It makes me so happy to see you when you wear the most fantastic costumes and you've been to so many shows," said John.
