Watch Elton John Debut “Cold Heart” at his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour relaunch
“I’ve been coming to New Orleans since 1971 and I’ve always loved coming to this city,” he told the crowd near at the end of the night. “I fell in love with the music of this city in 1957 when I first heard Fats Domino. The music that has come out of this city is so typical of New Orleans. It’s a funk that no other city has. It’s not Memphis. It’s not Detroit. It’s New Orleans.”
He then name-checked many New Orleans icons, including Allen Toussaint, Mac “Dr. John” Rebennack, the Meters, the Neville Brothers, Aaron Neville, Irma Thomas, Clarence “Frogman” Henry, Trombone Shorty, Ernie K-Doe. “The music is amazing and stands the test of time,” he concluded. “And this city had horrible things happen here. You’ve always picked yourself up from the ground, and you’ve come through it. You know why? Because you have character. This city has character. It has soul.
The tour continues Saturday night at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, and will keep John on the road through the summer of 2023. He hasn’t announced a final date of the tour yet, but he’s indicated he may play select shows after it ends. “It would be similar to what Kate Bush did at the Hammersmith Apollo [in 2014],”
