Elton John kicked off his current tour on Jan. 28 at the Royal Opera House with percussionist Ray Cooper.
Sir Elton heads to North America in February with his band for dates through March and back to Europe in June through July. Also, later in the year Sir Elton will perform in Dunedin, New Zealand, as was recently announced.
Will any dates include The Union collaborator, Leon Russell? It's hard to say, but some March dates are feasible, with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Mar. 14 in N.Y.
Check out Leon Russell's 2011 touring schedule.
