John said he still wants to make more albums. John said on Wednesday that he decided in 2015 that this would be his last tour, telling Cooper, 'I can't go on forever.' The tour is called 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' but this isn't farewell forever. There had been speculation for several days over what John's announcement would be after a countdown clock was posted to his official website with lyrics from his hit song, 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.'

'We had children and had changed our lives and in 2015 we sat down with their school schedule and we said I'm going to miss too much of this,' he told Cooper. John said his priorities changed when he and his husband, David Furnish, had children. 'I thought the time is right to say thank you to all my fans and say goodbye.' 'I've been touring since I was 17 with various bands,' John said. The three-year tour will start in September, John told CNN's Anderson Cooper in a sit down chat that was live-streamed around the world. The music icon announced in a press event on Wednesday that his next world tour will be his last. Sir Elton John is saying goodbye to life on the road.
