LONDON -- Elton John says he is postponing European dates on his world tour until 2023 so that he can have an operation on an injured hip.
The 74-year-old singer-songwriter had been due to play cities in Britain and Europe this year as part of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, followed by shows in the U.S. in 2022.
But he said a fall on a hard surface in late summer had left him in pain.
He said in a statement on Thursday that “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."
