Elton John gives up on his postponed farewell tour

Elton John can no longer get out of a car.

With a hip injury, the music legend was forced to postpone his farewell tour,

, to get back on his feet.

The Rocketman gave an update on his state of health, which is not at best.

“I wouldn't be 100% of my shape, I wouldn't be 100% of my confidence because I'm in pain most of the time.

The decision had to be made because I didn't want to go on stage and not give 100%.

I don't know, with a year and a half on tour, how long my hip could last - probably not, ”he explained.

Forced rest

However, Elton John assures that he will be able to be forgiven by his fans, who will have to wait until 2022 and 2023 to see him on stage for the last time.

“I'm going to redeem myself from them.

I'll be in much better shape, ”he said.

Elton John had revealed last September that he had fallen on "a very hard surface" at the end of the summer and, despite intensive rehabilitation sessions, he had failed to get rid of very debilitating pain, which made touring impossible at 74.

This forced rest (with regard to the scene anyway) allowed him to focus on the release of his new studio album, the 32nd, entitled

.

As its title suggests, this is a record made during confinement, and he has invited some of his favorite artists, such as Charlie Puth, Miley Cyrus, Stevie Wonder, or Dua Lipa.

A new successful opus, which earned it rave reviews from all over the press.
