As fans will know, Elton John is best-known for many iconic songs such as 'Sacrifice', 'Rocket Man', 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' and 'Your Song'. As well as his recent reworking of his 1972 hit 'Tiny Dancer' with Britney Spears, called 'Hold Me Closer'.
In an interview with our sister station Hits Radio, he revealed his plans for after his tour, saying: "It will be 59 years by the time I finish (touring). I'm really, really adamant that I'm not touring again. I can't."
So, when he was asked what's next, Elton replied: "Who knows? Like who knows, life is full of surprises, and I wasn't expecting to do a record this year, and look what happened! So, that's the great thing about life. It's one phone call, like The Lion King, that changed my life."
Elton went on to reveal: "After next year, when I finish in Stockholm, I’ll go on a bit of a hiatus and figure out what I’m going to do next.
"It won’t be performing, it will be… who knows. There’s a documentary coming out next year, there’s so much… I have a musical coming out next year, I have a music coming out this year, which I’ve written with Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters.
"So, I like to keep myself busy, but music for me is the most incredibly healing and fabulous thing, so… my whole life has been in music."
