"I Quit E.JOHN (30)"
cuon jonn announcea nis retirement from stage performing at a charity concert held in London last month. John had stopped performing late in 1976, but earlier this year he played 5 nights at London’s Rainbow Theatre which seemed to signal his return to live performing on a more regular basis. But at last month’s London performance John made an announcement part way though the show touring for a long time. It’s been a painful decision for me to come back on the road but this is going to be the last show. There’s a lot more to me than playing on the road." He followed this announcment by playing “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me." However it has been emphasised that this does not mean that Elton John has given up recording; in fact he has a single recorded and ready for release and an album is scheduled for release next year.
