This was the second night of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which started in North America in 2018.
One of the highlights of the world-wide tour, which saw him perform for more than six million fans, was his headlining performance at the Glastonbury Festival last month.
Chris Martin, a member of the band told Elton: “From all the bands and artists you’ve helped and inspired, we love you so much.
“We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for the Aids Foundation, anytime you’ve been kind to anybody.”
Billboard magazine reports that Elton’s show is the first to reach ticket sales of 900 million US dollars.
