Billy Joel, Elton John tour to last "at least two years"
Billy Joel and Elton John's upcoming tour will last "at least two
years and go all over the world," John announced this morning on "The
View."
Joel confirmed the tour late last month at a benefit for Charity
Begins at Home, but didn't release specific dates. John said yesterday
that the tour would begin in March.
"It’s something I’ve looked forward to for a long time," John said.
"We haven’t done it in a while. I love touring with him. I have the
greatest respect for him. We’re both such good friends. It’s two
people for the price of one. Our ticket prices are the same as you’d
see anyone else, but there’s two of us. In this day and age, we hope
to be getting people value for their money."
As part of the warm-up for the tour, Joel has set up some solo dates
-- at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Fla., in January, and a
Valentine's Day show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Tickets for those
shows are now on sale through Ticketmaster. Joel, who says he has been
practicing John's songs again to get ready for the tour, is currently
in the middle of his tour of Asia and Australia, set for Hong Kong
tomorrow night.
