Elton John once revealed his favourite song by The Beatles, and it's a surprising choice which didn't even appear on an album in the United Kingdom.
His close friend was a paid-up member of their fan club and tried to convince Elton to join him, but it wasn’t until the release of ‘We Can Work It Out’ that he finally understood their brilliance. Explaining his decision to include the track in his selections, Elton said: “I remember being at school and my friend Michael Johnson came with a 45 and said ‘I’ve just heard this band, they’re gonna be the biggest band in the world, and it was ‘Love Me Do’. I’ve listened to and said, ‘It’s not bad, it’s not bad’. I couldn’t see that they would be the biggest band in the world, and he turned out to be right. But I’ve chosen (‘We Can Work It Out’) because I just love the song.” Interestingly, in the UK, ‘We Can Work It Out’ didn’t appear on any of their albums. When Elton was at school and first introduced to The Beatles, it would have been inconceivable that he’d be their contemporaries just over a decade later. Like most people his age, Elton John’s life has been soundtracked by The Beatles. The Fab Four were a prominent part of his adolescence, and John will be forever grateful for their kaleidoscopic impact on his formative years.

(Nod to Captain Fantastic there.) Yet I always wanted to see Elton John in his own element in his own solo show. What can you expect from these shows? I saw Elton John in that duel tour he did with Billy Joel. He was amazing, but he announced he had a bad throat that night and would be saving it all for the singing and no storytelling. If you want to see a living legend and this is your final chance, this is an insane opportunity. Bennie and the Jets An insanely low $18 on StubHub for upper-level.

When they returned to the Sydney Opera House in 2016, 20 years after their, ahem, farewell show to about 200,000 fans at the same site, they billed it as an “encore performance”. No mention of the words comeback, swansong or backflip. John is hardly the first artist to have trouble saying goodbye. The first of several legs of John’s farewell tour grossed a handy $US125 million ($181 million), so clearly as a marketing move, it’s flawless.
