Music legend Sir Elton John has created his own metaverse on Roblox, with interactive challenges, scavenger hunts and trivia quizzes.
When does Sir Elton John’s Roblox metaverse launch?
What’s more, fans can also try on some of the ‘Tiny Dancer‘ hitmaker’s outlandish outfits.
Elton has recorded a mini virtual set of his greatest hits, which will premiere on 17 November 2022 until 20 November 2022.
The ‘I’m Still Standing‘ singer revealed his sons, Elijah, nine, and Zachary, 11, are massive fans of the creative gaming platform.
He said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be launching ‘Beyond the Yellow Brick Road’ on Roblox. I’ve seen the joy that Roblox has brought to my boys.”
“I’ve always been myself and used my image, eyewear, and music to express myself, and Roblox really encourages that self-expression. Now my fans can do the same, and that’s really exciting.”
He added:
“At every step of my career, I’ve always wanted to push forward and look to the future, and ‘Beyond the Yellow Brick Road’ is the next step on that journey as I prepare to step away from live touring after 50 years on the road. It’s genuinely thrilling, and I can’t wait to see the response from my fans and the Roblox community.”
Elton will retire from the road once he wraps his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road‘ tour.
To coincide with his final performance at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles (LA) on 20 November 2022, Elton will release ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: The Final Elton John Performances and the Years that Made His Legend‘, featuring never-before-seen archival footage and new interviews.
Elton’s spouse and manager, David Furnish, CEO of Rocket Entertainment, added:
“Elton is a visionary creative with a life full of major music and fashion moments significant to the culture of then and now and lived his life like an avatar. ‘Beyond the Yellow Brick Road’ is an extraordinary collection of some of these moments that we have had a lot of fun recreating with the Roblox community. As Elton says farewell to touring at Dodger Stadium, we’re excited for the opportunities that spaces like Roblox offer to ensure Elton’s music and legacy may continue to bring joy to the world.”
