London Sir Elton John has said it is with “great sadness and a heavy heart” that he has been forced to postpone his upcoming European and British tour dates to 2023 due to injury.
The musician, 74, was due to embark on dates around Europe this year as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
He said in a statement: “At the end of my summer break I fell awkwardly on a hard surface and have been in considerable pain and discomfort in my hip ever since.” “Despite intensive physio and specialist treatment, the pain has continued to get worse and is leading to increasing difficulties moving.” “I have been advised to have an operation as soon as possible to get me back to full fitness and make sure there are no long-term complications.” “I know how patient my incredible fans have been since Covid halted touring last year, and it breaks my heart to keep you waiting any longer.” “I completely feel your frustrations after the year we’ve had. I promise you this, the shows will return to the road next year and I will make sure they are more than worth the wait.” His Farewell Yellow Brick Tour is due to recommence in January 2022 in New Orleans, and will run until summer 2023.(dpa)
