Elton John’s Las Vegas residency is coming to a close, according to Rolling Stone.

The singer announced that his final shows for his “Million Dollar Piano” concert at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace will take place between April 28th and May 19th, 2018.

John began his first residency at Caesars Palace with his show “The Red Piano,” which ran from 2004-2009. His “Million Dollar Piano” show kicked off in 2011. In April, John had to cancel a string of performances due to contracting an infection.

“For over a decade, Elton John and his band have graced the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, performing all the hits that have defined a generation,” Caesar’s Palace President Gary Selesner said in a statement. “Elton John’s residency at The Colosseum has set the standard for those all that have followed. We are incredibly grateful to Elton for allowing Palace to be the home for his 450 memorable performances.”

Tickets go on sale on Sunday, Oct. 22 at 1 p.m.
