Elton, 74, took a break from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour amid several health issues, including a fall that required surgery and catching Covid in January 2022. At the time, the star said on Instagram Stories: "Hi everyone, wanted to send a message to let you know that I have contracted Covid and so have had to reschedule my shows in Dallas."

He issued a similar message in September 2021, when a fall forced him to postpone gigs. Elton said he was in "considerable pain and discomfort" after a nasty fall left him with a damaged hip.
"I fell awkwardly on a hard surface and have been in considerable pain and discomfort in my hip ever since," he said.
