Elton John’s supposed final Tampa show happened last Monday at Amalie Arena, but the bitch just made plans to come back in 2020.

According to a press release from arena officials, the pop icon is bringing the three-year “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” concert to Amalie, again, on May 26, 2020.

We’re fine with his lie about saying goodbye for good, however, and want to let you know that tickets for the 2020 date go on sale to the public on Friday, November 22 at 10 a.m. EST and start at $65.75.

More information is at amaliearena.com.

Of note is that the NHL season is set to end in April (the last Tampa Bay Lightning home game is on March 31), which means the concert could potentially happen at the same time as another Bolts postseason campaign.

However, Kevin Preast, Senior Vice President of Event Management told CL that, “We have ensured this date will not be an issue with NHL playoffs.”
