Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterWatching Elton John perform at Madison Square Garden always feels historic; although though he’s performed there more than 70 times, he frequently says it’s his favorite stage on Earth.Even more historic is the feeling of watching him play what he says will be his last show ever at the iconic venue. (Then again, this is a man whose 300-stop worldwide farewell tour began in 2018 and, due to COVID-19, may be going on considerably longer than the 74-year-old originally planned.)“This is definitely the most magical venue to play in the world,” an emotional John told the New York City crowd on an unseasonably warm Wednesday evening.

The concert features performances from the likes of Elton John, George Michael and David Bowie. It features interviews with Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen as well as The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott as well as the concert’s promoter, Harvey Goldsmith. It also features the first major interview with Kashmira Bulsara, Freddie’s sister.
Produced by Rogan Productions, the doc aired on BBC Two last year and was directed by James Rogan, who worked on Apple’s 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything, and is produced by Dan Hall. BBC Studios distributes.
