Billed as his retirement from touring, the megastar played his last UK date at Glastonbury festival last month and is bringing the tour to an end at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm. The show in Stockholm will mark the 33rd time Knaepen has watched Sir Elton in concert, with 22 of those being for the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which has seen him travel across America and Europe. I’m not yet realising it’s the final, final show tonight,” he said. Kjell Jonsson, 64, and his sister Evelyn Schultze, 59, from Gothenberg, Sweden, were due to see Sir Elton three years ago, saying it was an “accident” they were now attending the last show of his tour. Jonsson, who has seen the singer perform once before in concert, added: “It’s really perfect, because I saw Elton 20 years ago in Gothenberg, so it’s time again.”
