Elton & Sal Selfie!

• Sal Cirrincione, Premiere Networks’ Sr. Director of Rock Programming & Specials, attended Sir Elton John‘s press conference at Gotham Hall in New York on Wednesday, where the music legend announced his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. After the press conference, Cirrincione was the only representative for American radio to get a one-on-one interview — or a souvenir selfie like this little collector’s item.

Cirrincione spoke to the music icon about his decision to stop touring so he can help raise his two sons, his greatest achievement being his sustained success, and future projects. When asked if there was anything he’d change or do differently, Elton said he wished he had never come under the spell of drugs and alcohol.

While there’s plenty of time until Elton ends his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in 2021, he revealed where he wants it to end, telling Cirrincione, “I want to start in America and end in America because I owe this country so much. I love this country. The Troubadour kick-started my career in a big way. Without that, you know, I don’t know what would have happened. So I’m very grateful to L.A. and I love New York. But I definitely decided that the last show will be in America. My dream show would be at Dodger Stadium because it makes sense.”
