Record numbers at this concert. 7.3 million watched on t.v. beating all records by about 3 million. His farewell tour is the highest grossing tour ever at £697M. At 76! What a legend.

He went out like he came in. Absolutely melting the paino keys and singing straight into the heart. An absolute legend, and a class act. Well miss you.

Was in that field. Been to Glastonbury 6 times. Will never see a better headline performance. Wasn’t a big fan of Elton before this. He absolutely blew me away. I was mesmerised how a man in his 70’s could perform so perfectly. Just pure class.

The Way he changes harmonies to suit his slightly diminished range makes this performance musically even more interesting and original. Tha fact that in spite of his aged voice nothing is really missing shows his incredible musicianship. Hats off to Sir Elton!

The definition of an Icon, absolutely stunning performance

The instrumental to close this out was just absolutely perfect. A legendary performer and an incredible band taking every single available second to enjoy performing together in this country for the last time. It's like they didn't want to finish, and I didn't want them to either - he even threw some blues in there to pay homage to his career. Amazing

I was here and it was a truly epic performance from a true British legend. Way to go Elton. Respect

The whole Elton show was absolutely fantastic!! There will never be anyone like him in this lifetime. Love Elton John and for all the love he shown everyone over the years especially last night ❤

That’s what they call being in the zone. What a band and what a musician he is. Must’ve been awesome to be there ❤

I just wanna say Thank you to UK for incredible musicians, bands in the history. What a legacy!

It was a phenomenal closing set by a true musical legend. At 76 and to complete a 2 hour set at that pace and energy is inspired. Hard boots to fill for next year's closing act! Simply unbelievable!

How lucky we are as a species to have something as pure, beautiful and transcendent as music

No words needed. We will never see the likes of Sir Elton Hercules John again. He is one of the UK’s biggest gifts to the world, and long may he continue to be.

Not particularly an Elton fan but obviously grown up hearing and knowing his song's. This performance from start to finish was magical. I salute you Sir Elton. 👏

Some of the songs in this performance were heartbreakingly poignant. Elton has been a constant presence for my whole life and I’m mourning him retiring already. What a stunning song from an incredible musician ❤

One day in the not so distant future, a new generation of kids will be listening to Elton's music and saying they wished they could have seen him while he was alive... just like my generation do with people like Elvis, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon... Elton John's star will never fade, and his legacy will live on for centuries. All of us here today are truly blessed to have lived at the same time as this Rock/Pop genius.

Genuinely one of the best concerts I have ever seen. To play to 120,000 people and have everyone knowing all your songs was crazy. Hopefully the BBC upload his duet with Brandon Flowers too!

If you were a teenager in the 70s, Elton was part of the soundtrack of your life. ❤️

This man is an absolute LEGEND, one of the greatest of all times. What a shame I never got to see him live.

Thank you for the soundtrack of my life Elton. Love from Canada ❤

I went to ser Elton in Brum a couple of weeks ago, brilliant night. Never fancied Glastonbury but God I wish I’d been there last night! Elton has sung the soundtrack to all our lives.

His voice never ages! I remember in the 70’s I was a solicitor’s temp in London and I typed out his change of name deed. From Reginald Kenneth Dwight.

ELTON JOHN, OMG, WHAT A SET!!! I sang along to all these great old songs, the soundtrack to my youth in 70s!! Elton sounded great and played the piano like a dream. Great band too! Truly he is a music legend and genius. WE WILL REALLY MISS YA!!

What a farewell performance, and so well captured by the team at the BBC... For just £2 a week, we're lucky enough to be able to witness stuff like this. We're the envy of the world, but some people just can’t grasp that.

It was a privilege to be in that field last night. One of the very best I've seen.

This is one of my all time favorite songs, Elton may not be able to hit those same notes he used to but he’s still an amazing performer. I’m thankful to have shared this rock with him for the past 40 years.

Got to see the farewell tour and it was one of the best musical experiences of my life. Truly blessed to see such a legend live.

I really was moved to tears during the show. Such a sweet guy and great musician. 2 hours of incredible music and love. I will never forget it❤

nobody is talking about that amazing piano-guitar duet?

😅 I'm tearing up. Mesmerizing!! One of the best performers and one of my idols. Hats off to you Sir Elton. 🎩🎉 ☺️🙏💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I rarely comment on here, but I love this performance so much I had to express it somewhere. Such an incredible musician, you can just feel the love and passion he has for his art, its beautiful to see, and the connection he has with his band. Thank you Elton John ❤

Elton's voice is still strong and in tune, what an amazing performer and possibly in the top 5 live rock performers of all time.

I was there, one of the most magical moments of my life thank you sir Elton

He has always been part of the soundtrack of my life since 1970---- and many many others too-----Long Live Elton!

Feel very lucky to have witnessed this. Perfect way to end Glastonbury, it was a joy to watch so many people having fun. The amount of talent/skill/experience on that stage was incredible.

Elton and Davey. Just beautiful playing🙏🙏

Crikey this made me cry. So, so gutted I couldn't be there for this set. Absolutely brilliant bow out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Still - at least I got to see him back in '75)

Well.. Great honors to this amazing artist. Wish I could have been there. So many beautiful songs he made which I’ve listened to, always hitting the right spot. Thanks!

The way they were jamming together at the end of the song was amazing! I was in the crowd but so far back I couldn’t even see the screens! But would never change it it was amazing!!’n

Wow was never Eltons biggest fan but last night loved every minute of him your our treasure thanks for making us proud x❤❤

An OVERDOSE of emotions. Loved every second, Rocket Man! ❤️ Come to see us! 🇨🇱 🇧🇷 🇦🇷 🇨🇴 🇵🇪 🇺🇾 ......

Blessed to have seen Elton John live 4 times. Without doubt a musical genius and one of the best artists the country has ever produced!

I saw him this year in Christchurch NZ, absolutely amazing. Best concert ever!

I am so grateful for his music being the soundtrack of my life since I was a teenager. Wow that must have been incredible to see in person!!!! What an entertainer to the world he has been! Thank you Elton!!!

Sir Elton thank you 😊 for your talent which you shared with the world at last nights concert The back story to a whole life played out. You were incredible. Tear shed over rocket man. What beautiful piano work. I was in awe your a legend.

Remember nodding off to this beautiful song in the back of my dad's Aston Martin playing on the 8 track, me and my big sis, only nippers, my dad had great musical taste, thanks dad🎶🎼❤️zzzzz😴

A true icon. From owning Watford FC to a global superstar, congratulations on a brilliant career Elton, it's been a blast!

Your U.S. fans salute your efforts and acknowledge your astounding career. Breathe deep and take a well rewarded break. We will continue to reflect on your amazing musical efforts. bk

The eyes of the music world on Elton on the biggest stage of all Glastonbury on his final UK appearance the pressure he must have been under, he came out and sang and played his heart out for us like the true professional he is I only hope it is released officially on Blu-ray, spectacular 🌟🌟🌟💎🎵🎶🕺🎹🎹🎹👏👏💯☘️🇮🇪

I found in many songs that he no longer had the voice and was just belting them but he did a great job of this and his performance of 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' was as good as he has ever done. What was sure was that his piano playing was undimmed by the years. Also Davey Johnstons guitar playing was still brilliant and the drummer had no issues keeping up despite both being around the same age as Elton. A lovely ending to this song.

Makes me proud to be British and it makes me ponder the awe-inspiring quality of great pop music. Now regret that in 1971, when EJ played my school auditorium in North London at the start of his career, I was a teenage blues snob and didn’t go.

Elton John is a true legend and one of the few remaining living legends. None of the so-called “talent” around these days has any hope of touching his record for quality song writing, piano playing ability, musicality, showmanship, style, versatility but, most of all, longevity and sheer star quality. An absolutely astonishingly amazing career in every single respect. I salute you, Sir Elton Hercules John, and I believe any music lover should join me! Thank you for all you have given me, your fans, to charity and to the world. I love you X ❤

Rocket Man was the first single I bought as a 14/15 year old. This was absolutely brilliant

What an absolute treat to see a stage , full of real musicians ! Thank you Elton for letting them show out . Your a true Gent ....

The second hour of this set was just insane, so many legendary songs! Elton and Bernie will forever be songwriting-greats!

When I was a kid my dad used to sing this song to me ... I loved this man and his music.. 😢

I was 1 of the lucky 1s who was there love glastonbury and loved every moment of Eltons set will treasure this for ever.❤

What an Amazing Performer...👍 His Music stands for everything on this Planet..🌷 Greetings from Katherine, N.T. Australia..🤗💖

His fingers pulse along that piano like blood though a vein.. it's really quite a remarkable thing to see and hear. It's an honour to live in his time.

He’s still killing it even on his last ever tour. One of the last true rock icons, up there with Bowie and Freddie.

Simply superb! I remember this when it was in the charts back in day - it's as beautifully melancholic today as it was back then. As I say, simply superb... 💖

The ending to this was spellbinding, watching Elton look over at his band as they just kept going and creating such a magical atmosphere with their sound. His entire performance was a masterclass!

The greatest love of music gig in the world. If you haven't been....add it to your bucket list you won't regret it.

Thank you for the soundtrack of my life! You will forever be my words when I cannot speak.

His voice takes my breath away!!!! ❤🚀

Merci, cher Elton... for all these years of incredible songs. You marked two centuries, you did!

Fabulous ! Elton is an excellent piano player. 🎹 I saw him in concert in the 1970s. All those years ago.

Elton , a true legend , watching Glastonbury on TV made me so proud to be British , all those people looking so happy made me cry 😂

I listened to elton John. He not only hits the keyboard, he touches our hearts with his overal music. He was my mentor in music as i grew up with such. I am favorable tegarding his retirement. However, i will listen. He now has time to be happy with his partner &has joy wothout pleasing the audiance. He encouraged me to sing again. May you elton enjoy to the fullest your &yours in your retirement. A gal from michigan!😂🎉🎉😢😢😮😅😅😅😊😊❤

This will go down as one of Elton's greatest moments in his career. What a way to end on a high.

What a treasure this man is...he has brought joy to millions of people. I fist saw Elton in 1975 in Oakland Calif. I was in high school. His music meant so much to me...I get choked up remembering certain songs and people in my past....Much Love Sir Elton!

The one and only Elton John. Thank for your amazing melodies and for sharing your musical stardust with us.

This was my 7th Glasto, and the first I got to go with all of the family. The memories in that field with mum, dad and my sister will forever be special. Thank you Elton, this was one of the best nights of my life.

Elton John is a superstar for the ages. Fantastic performer over many many decades. Just wow!

This might go down as one of the Best Glastonbury's ever all time...OMG the performances, the line up and let's talk about the beautiful crowd..they were so ready to celebrate music and life

I was there and it was total magic. I can’t explain it but you can see it.

Had the chance to see him in Cologne in May. It was an fantastic evening, that i will never forget in my livetime.

Simply a great performance.

What piano playing ! Magnificent

50 years of entertaining the world. I received my first Elton LP for Christmas in 1972. A legend I am so pleased I have seen in concert twice (in Sydney and HK).

Great performance love Elton's strong powerful voice and wonderful piano playing.The band was incredible Guitar Davey you rock.

Great set of songs by Sir Elton John, and great to see Davey Johnson back on stage playing guitar 🎸 ❤

I was lucky enough to be present for this and if anyone else reading this was, how magical was the atmosphere. All different ages, genders, and backgrounds truly living in the moment. Will be hard to ever top this for me.

I was in the crowd and I ascended during this song, was an out of body experience. So lucky to have been there.

Wow! That was a performance I would have really enjoyed at the farm. I seen some greats from Radio Head, Paul McCartney, and Oasis and many more on this special land. This just mite have been the best!

fabulous recording thank you BBC Music...

Grew up in 70s Elton is a Musical Genius!! Been at the very Top well over 50years!! They'll be playing his music 50yrs from now.what a absolute Legend!!

He saved the best till last!......He belted out every song, true to form.........It took me right back!...Thank you Elton.....

So long Elton. I was 4 when you began your career and now I’m 57! Saw you at Leeds a few weeks ago then again at Glasto in front of a quarter of a million people. You’ve filled a lot of people with gratitude. You’ve made my 2023. You are an utter inspiration. A planet - wide treasure that transcends all borders. Enjoy a long and happy retirement. No one deserves that more than you❤

I've seen him 50 times all over the country since age 14. (I'm 62). Last was MSG. I cried SO hard. Will be in UK during Dec/Jan. would LOVE to seen him again, but don't see any events then, Sigh....................My Number 1-All time Favorite

My 15 year old loves this song.. here comes the next generation of Elton fans ❤

I cannot adequately put into words how I feel about Elton's Rocket Man at Glastonbury '23. I've immersed myself in music my whole life...50+ years. All kinds: Beethoven to Doo Wop; Pavarotti to Bruce; Mahler to Meat Loaf; Tina to Jarrett. I've enjoyed thousands upon thousands of musical pieces. To me, this is the greatest single performance that I've ever heard at any time. In particular, he takes us through the Song beautifully; and, sadly just when you thought it's winding down, he quietly eases into an amazing riff that is as much jazz as anything. With his lead guitarist, David Johnson, he builds from there as Rocket Man explodes, both literally and figuratively into its climax. It's amazing. It's seminal.

Tears in my eyes. Thanks for a lifetime of great music

That improv section was just utterly incred

He's just extraordinary! His energy, his joy of playing more than intact after five decades. Damn is he going to miss it, brilliant man.

This performance will be remembered and watched long after the griefers have gone. At last, in golden days, Elton got the joyous crowd reaction he deserves. Most of the crowd were not born before Rocket Man. They know a class act.

This set was absolutely incredible. Better than I expected

On top of all his other genius attributes he really is a wonderful piano player.

Watching it at home after being there and can’t stop getting emotional.

Versión jazzística deliciosa, voladora, rocketera- al espacio infinito! Gracias Elton! Gracias a la música! Y los músicos!
