''They're going to be teenagers soon. I need to be with them." John said.
“I’ll be 76 [when the tour is over],” he added. Elton continued, “I don’t know how much time I have left on this earth after that. You know, I’ve had enough applause. I don’t want to keep traveling. I don’t want to be away from my family.”
