"The simple truth is I want to spend more time with my family and less time touring," said Elton. "I am all too aware of how precious the time ahead is. My sons are growing up so quickly. Their early years are just flying by and I want to be there with them."
Elton John's band features Nigel Olsson (part of Elton's original three-piece band) on drums, Davey Johnstone (who first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band a year later) on guitar, John Mahon on percussion, Kim Bullard on keyboards, and Matt Bissonette on bass.
One of the most successful artists on the road today, Elton and his band perform a concert you will never forget: the entire audience singing along to much-loved classic songs such as "Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Bennie and the Jets," "Philadelphia Freedom," "Crocodile Rock," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," and many more.
"We are honored to be able to welcome Sir Elton John back to Eugene," said Mike Duncan, Senior Associate Athletic Director at the University of Oregon. "It was nearly six years ago when he delivered a spectacular performance in the new Matthew Knight Arena. It was a special night that fans who attended still talk about. We're beyond thrilled to host Sir Elton again in Eugene."
The monumental career of international singer/songwriter and performer Elton John spans five decades. He is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 38 gold records and 31 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide.
