Elton John health: Sir Elton has given an update following hip surgery that meant he had to postpone his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
October 22, 2021 - 09:34 BST Bridie Wilkins Elton John was forced to postpone his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour until 2023 after a fall on his hip that requires surgery, and in a new interview the star has opened up about how he came to the decision.Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he explained:"I'm a recovering alcoholic so everything that happens I have to accept, and I can't really change it. The only thing I can change is to do something positive.
He went on to reveal the extent of the pain the injury has caused him:"I sing for two hours, 45 minutes and I'm in pain," he said."So I want to really enjoy what I'm doing. It's my last tour and I want to give 100 per cent for my fans, so it was a painful decision and quite a long time to reach but in the end of the day, it was getting so bad, and I fell over and that was the icing on the cake.
He added that he felt it would be more disappoint for fans if he had to cancel it"halfway through to me being ill", or if his"hip was hurting too much".He concluded that it was the most"sensible" option, and that he would be"raring to go" after surgery this month.
