The #EltonFarewellTour Toronto Pop Up, presented by Universal Music Canada, Bravado, and Henry Holt & Co, opened today in downtown Toronto at 277 Queen Street West and will run until Saturday, October 26. The store features Toronto-exclusive merch and collaborations, plus daily in-store contests including today’s opening day prize of a pair of tickets to Elton John’s Toronto concert on Thursday, October 24. Fans can experience the Toronto Pop Up until 8pm tonight and from 10am-8pm Tuesday through Saturday.
Elton John, recently named the most successful performing solo male artist of all time by Billboard, will be performing two Toronto concerts this week as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour on Wednesday, October 23 and Thursday, October 24 at the Scotiabank Arena. Thursday night’s show will mark the 25th Toronto tour date of Elton John’s illustrious career. Ticket info can be found at EltonJohn.com.
In Elton’s first and only official autobiography, Me, recently released on October 15, Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life. Written with music critic Alexis Petridis, it is a no holds barred account from the highest highs of cultivating his musical genius, making it big and discovering his true sexuality, to his lowest lows being trapped by cross addictions to drugs and alcohol and an endless compulsion for sex and shopping, and being let down by those he needed most to love and respect him whether they were his parents, industry suits or strangers for a short time.
