Sir Elton John’s farewell tour is the highest-grossing concert trek of all time. The legend hit the road for his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ shows in September 2018 and figures reported to Billboard show he has already grossed 817.9 million across 278 shows so far, making it the first tour to cross the 800 million dollar mark. The record was initially set by Ed Sheeran in 2019, when his ‘Divide’ tour grossed 776.4 million over the 258-show run. What tour do you most wish you had seen?
