The 71-year-old singer has been touring for almost 50 years and made a hilarious cameo in last year’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

Elton spent most of the film being forced to perform in captivity for Julianne Moore’s Poppy Adams, before assisting the heroes in the final act.

Now one of his co-stars has signed on to play him in Rocket Man, a biopic of his life.

According to , Eggsy star Taron Egerton will play Elton in the upcoming movie.

The 28-year-old will star in Rocket Man, which will cover Elton’s “emergence as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music to becoming a music superstar and his partnership with songwriting collaborator Bernie Taupin.”

The film will be directed by Dexter Fletcher who last year replaced the fired Bryan Singer on Bohemian Rhapsody, the Freddy Mercury biopic.

The Queen-focused drama will release on Boxing Day.

He will kick off a mammoth 300-date Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in the US in September before arriving in the UK and Europe in April 2019.

Announcing the decision, Sir Elton said his “priorities have changed”, adding that his and husband David Furnish’s two sons, Elijah and Zachary, had changed their lives.

In 2015 we sat down with a school schedule and I thought I don’t want to miss too much of this … My life has changed, my priorities have changed and my priority now is my family.”

He added it was a chance “to say thank you to all my fans around he world and then to say goodbye. It doesn’t mean I’m not going to be creative any more.

“I have had a good run … I want to go out with a bang.” 

Asked if he could later reconsider his decision, Sir Elton vowed not to do a “Cher”, adding: “This is the end”.

He rejected claims it was down to health problems he had experienced in recent years.
