For Angular 7 someone should write like:

this.router.events.subscribe((event: Event) => {})

A detailed example can be as follows:

import { Component } from '@angular/core'; 
import { Router, Event, NavigationStart, NavigationEnd, NavigationError } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: ``
})
export class AppComponent {

    constructor(private router: Router) {

        this.router.events.subscribe((event: Event) => {
            if (event instanceof NavigationStart) {
                // Show loading indicator
            }

            if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
                // Hide loading indicator
            }

            if (event instanceof NavigationError) {
                // Hide loading indicator

                // Present error to user
                console.log(event.error);
            }
        });

   }
}
