Elton John shocked fans in 1977 by announcing his retirement from live performances during a concert at Wembley Stadium. He claimed he needed a break from the relentless pace of touring and performing. However, by 1979, John resumed performing a series of concerts in the Soviet Union and became one of the first Western artists to play there.
