Riding on the success of their previous two tours,Elton John andBilly Joel once again hit the stadiums in 1998. The production had previously only toured the United States and Canada, but this time they visited Australia,[ 1] New Zealand, Japan,[ 2] and Europe,[ 3] avoiding any North American cities.[ 4]
On 6 June, Joel pulled out of a concert atWembley Stadium inLondon , England due to illness. John performed the show without him, playing several of Joel's songs.[ 5] The same happened inZurich , Switzerland atLetzigrund Stadium on 30 June; this was the last night of the 1998 tour.[ 6]
Joel stated in 2012 that he would no longer tour with John because it restricts his setlists.[ 7] [ 8]
