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]

The 1994 tour proved a major success playing to huge audiences in packed stadiums across the U.S. starting in East Coast America and ending in South East America.[7][8]
