John explained that after he completes his farewell tour, he won't be touring anymore because the priorities in his life have changed -- his focus being his husband, David Furnish, and their two sons, Elijah and Zachary, Entertainment Tonight reported.
"I don't want to miss them and I don't want them to miss me," he said. "I've had a good run."
John's three-year farewell jaunt around the globe is called "Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour."
