Elton John’s Ill-Fated Farewell Tour Has Been Postponed Once Again.

Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour has reached another hitch as the singer announced Thursday that his upcoming European tour dates have been rescheduled to 2023 after John recently suffered a hip injury that requires an operation. “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I am forced to rescheduled the 2021 dates of my Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in Europe and U.K. to 2023,” John wrote on social media.

“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 will be undertaking a program of intensive physiotherapy that will ensure a full recovery and a return to full mobility without pain.”
