Elton John performed at Rock in Rio on September 7th, in one of the most anticipated shows of the edition, which was also one that sold out. The British singer, at 79 years old, took the stage in a presentation that could have been a farewell to the Brazilian audience, since there was no certainty if there would be another chance to see him up close.
Elton John retired from touring in 2023, after a five-year tour. The artist stated he was tired and needed to spend more time with his family, but made clear that his love for music would make him make some exceptions for future performances.
This was not the first time Elton John performed at Rock in Rio. He had already performed at the festival on two other occasions, in 2011 and 2015. During one of the moments of the presentation, the singer revealed he wanted to go to Rock in Rio as a thank you to the Brazilian fans.
