Elton John reflects on retiring from the road: "I want to do something different with the rest of my life"
CBSN
Before Sir Elton John returned to the stage Wednesday night in New Orleans, the iconic singer was feeling a little anxious.
"I haven't played for two years," he told CBS News senior culture correspondent Anthony Mason. "I think it feels strange for everybody who's a performer. I've been to a couple of shows, and the audience go nuts. So I'm looking forward to it from that point of view and I hope I'm not too rusty, that's it."
John had to halt his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour during the pandemic and postponed it again for hip surgery.

Seems that there is always a lot going on behind the walls of the White House where truth can often be stranger than fiction. But fiction can be pretty compelling, too. In the new novel "The First Gentleman" (to be published June 2 by Little, Brown & Co.), the commander in chief is a woman, and her husband is accused of murder. It's the third collaboration from best-selling author James Patterson and his co-writer, President Bill Clinton.
