CHARITY TREASURES: A VIP piece of musical history

Friday 02 August 2024


A VIP merchandise package from the longest running world tour in history has been found in a St Helier charity shop by a veteran fanatic of pre-loved goods.

Bargain enthusiast Fiona Walker recently set up social media pages under the name 'Upstylejersey24' to showcase interesting items found and encourage islanders to do their own digging for treasure to support good causes.

Express is partnering with her to showcase her favourite bargains each week...

This week's find was a VIP pack from Elton John's final world tour 'The Yellow Brick Road', which saw him perform more than 330 concerts over five years.

It was found in CRY Jersey on New Street.

Fiona said: "If you want a souvenir from the longest ever farewell tour, then it has to be something from the Yellow Brick Road.

"This set, on sale at Cry Jersey commemorates Elton John’s final tour, which lasted over five years and ended in Sweden last year."

The Yellow Brick Road tour was Elton's 49th and final world tour that started in Allentown, Pennsylvania in September 2018 and finished in Stockholm, Sweden, in July 2023.

It was the highest grossing, the longest running, and most highly attended concert tour in history.
