KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After his last show in Kansas City, superstar musician Elton John tweeted a “thank you” to the T-Mobile Center audience, but thanked the wrong city.
“What a great night @tmobilecenter in Arkansas City! Thanks to everyone who came out – you were all amazing,” the legendary singer wrote.
Arkansas City is a real place in Kansas, but it’s a 3.5 hour drive southwest of Kansas City.
The small town of about 12,000 people (2019) is about 60 miles south of Wichita.
Another, even smaller, Arkansas City is in southeastern Arkansas, on the border with Mississippi. According to the 2019 census, the population of the commune is just over 400 people.
The T-Mobile center ignored the typo in their responseletting John know the town loves him.
John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour will continue with shows in the United States, Canada and several countries in Europe.
Two shows in Dallas, Texas were postponed last week after John tested positive for COVID-19. Rescheduling dates have not been announced.
