NEW YORK - Elton John has decided that his future lies off the yellow brick road of touring — at least in three years.

The megastar announced at a lavish press event at Gotham Hall in New York on Wednesday afternoon that following a three-year world tour that will launch in Pennsylvania in September, he will say goodbye to the road.

John will perform at Philips Arena at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. Tickets, priced from $59.50-$249.50, will go on sale Feb. 2 via www.ticketmaster.com, the venue box office and by calling 1-800-745-3000.
