The "Tiny Dancer" and "Rocket Man" hitmaker
played three shows at the stadium over the last few days,
marking a return to the venue where he famously performed
dressed in a sequined baseball uniform in 1975 at the height of
his fame.
On Sunday, he wore a robe version of that Dodger uniform.
The three-hour "Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium"
concert, which was streamed on Disney+, saw the 75-year-old
Grammy and Oscar winner belt out hits including "Bennie and the
Jets", "I'm Still Standing" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".
Singers Dua Lipa, Kiki Dee and Brandi Carlile joined him on
stage for duets "Cold Heart", "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and
"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".
Other guests included singers Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and
Joni Mitchell, John's longtime collaborator and lyricist Bernie
Taupin and actor Taron Egerton, who portrayed the singer in 2019
film "Rocketman".
John has performed 183 shows across the United States and Canada
as part of the "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour which began in
September 2018.
He heads to Australia in January for its next leg.
