THE TOUR

The "Reg Strikes Back" tour by Elton John in 1988 was part of his efforts to revitalize his career during that period. This tour was named after his album "Reg Strikes Back" released in the same year. The album and the tour marked a significant moment in Elton John's career, representing a comeback of sorts. This was especially notable since it followed a period of personal and professional challenges for him, including his battle with drug addiction and a throat surgery in 1987 which temporarily affected his singing voice.

The "Reg Strikes Back" album is notable for its energetic and diverse tracks, showcasing Elton John's versatility and resilience as an artist. The tour, reflecting the album's energy, featured Elton John performing a mix of his new songs from the album along with his classic hits, delighting fans with a blend of the fresh and the familiar.

The tour in the USA was part of a larger international tour, and it showcased Elton John's enduring popularity and his ability to connect with audiences through his music and performances. This tour helped re-establish Elton John's status as a major live performer and set the stage for his continued success in the subsequent decades.
