Face to Face 1994

Beginning in 1994, Elton John toured extensively with Billy Joel on a series of Face to Face tours, making them the longest running and most successful concert tandem in pop music history.^[1] During these shows, the two played their own songs, each other's songs and performed duets. They grossed over US $46 million in just 24 days in their sold out 2003 tour.^[2][3] John and Joel resumed the Face to Face tour in March 2009 and it ended again in March 2010. Joel denied rumors in the trade press that he canceled a summer 2010 leg of the tour, claiming there were never any dates booked and that he intended to take the year off.^[4] Joel stated in 2012 that he would no longer tour with John because it restrains his setlists.^[5][6]
