Terry O'Neill took the most iconic photographs of me throughout the years, completely capturing my moods. He was brilliant, funny and I absolutely loved his company. A real character who has now passed on. RIP you wonderful man.
I was allowed unprecedented access to Elton’s life and work from the very beginning – in the recording studio, portrait studio, at home and at play, onstage and off. My relationship with him for more than 45 years now has been one of the most rewarding friendships in my life, and he has always been kind to me. I must have thousands of photos of the man in my archive, and when you start looking at them, it’s like witnessing the visual evolution of a superstar.
Elton John: Farewell From Dodger Stadium
It’s hard to believe that John’s U.S. leg of his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour is coming to an end. In 2018, the singer embarked on the three-year tour, which he began in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The tour, which marks his retirement from touring after more than 50 years on the road, would encompass five continents and over 350 concert dates.
“This is my last tour,” he said. “You have to soak it in. And I have soaked in all the love and all the loyalty that’s been shown from the audience.”
His final U.S. performance at Dodger Stadium is a full circle moment for the singer, who performed there in 1975 in an iconic performance, where he wore a sequined Dodger outfit and performed a cover of The Who’s “Pinball Wizard.”
Elton John: Farewell From Dodger Stadium
“It wasn’t the happiest time of my life, but I bounced back pretty quickly,” John said. “I was the biggest I could possibly be. But to be there again on my own, and to finish off the North American tour, with three days at Dodgers Stadium -- I could not ask for a more wonderful ending.” - Elton John
