Elton Johnwill have some high-profile special guests when he plays his highly-anticipatedDodger Stadium concert— the final date of his farewell tour — on Sunday.
All three artists have previously released collaborations with John. Nearly 50 years ago, he and Dee shot to No. 1 on theBillboardHot 100 with “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” Last year, he collaborated with Lipa on the top-ten hit “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” and Carlile on “Simple Things,” both of which were featured on hisThe Lockdown Sessionsalbum.
In a recent interview, John’s manager and husband David Furnishtold Varietythe “Rocket Man” singer on Sunday will wear a recreation of his iconic sequined Dodgers uniform from the classic 1976 tour.
John is playing Dodger Stadium on Thursday and Saturday, but the live-streamed Sunday show will be a spectacle, Furnish said.

“We’re going to have a few more bells and whistles for the Sunday show just to give the real sense of grandeur and spectacle that is so befitting of Elton John for his last show at Dodger Stadium,” Furnish toldVariety. “We have to give it that little extra bit of lift.”
As for the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which concludes in July, Furnish reaffirmed John was truly done on the road thereafter.
“This will definitely be the end of all touring without question,” Furnish said. “I hope he still does a one-off every now and then or maybe, like not in Vegas, but a small residency at some point.”
