Musical superstar Sir Elton John has wished his fans a Happy New Year from the balcony of a luxury Hayman Island resort, thanking fans for their support in 2022 as he departs for his final tour.

After he and his husband David Furnish were spotted waving their fans a Happy New Year as they departed the resort, Elton publicly announced his gratitude on his Instagram page.

“I wanted to take this chance very early into 2023 saying thank you for 2022,” Elton said.

As he reaches the end of his pre-tour vacation at the luxurious Hayman Island Resort, he confirmed his farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour plans for the coming months.

Recent reports said his concert dates range across January in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane before he flies out to his fans in New Zealand.

“You’ve been amazing, your support has been great, I love you dearly and I will be seeing you next in Newcastle in Australia on the 8 of January.

“From then on, it’s pedal to the metal until July the 8th in Stockholm,” he said.

“Let’s hope 2023 is going to be just as good.”
