The Cold Heart singer, 75, who has sons Zachary, 11, and Elijah, 9, with husband David Furnish, 59, said goodbye to fans on the first night of his UK tour on Wednesday at Carrow Road in Norwich.

“Tonight is the 229th show on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, we have about 103 shows to do. This is my second last concert in Norwich and all of East Anglia, and the 444th concert in the United Kingdom. It’s been quite a journey and it all ends next July,” he shared.

“But I want to thank you because I won’t be playing here again. I want to thank you for all the memories, all the love you’ve sent me, all the loyalty, the kindness, the letters, the dressing up, the costumes, the multiple shows you’ve been to,” he added.

The Sacrifice singer said, “It means the world to me and I will never forget you guys. I will take you with me in my heart, in my soul and I can tell my boys all about you when I get old and decrepit. I love you.”
