British singer and songwriter Elton John announced Tuesday that he had tested positive for coronavirus.
John has been forced to postpone some U.S. concerts although his symptoms were mild and is expected to be able to resume his farewell tour at the weekend.
The iconic singer restarted his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour last week, returning to the stage in New Orleans after a nearly two-year hiatus.
John added he would reschedule the postponed shows in Dallas this week but was expecting to recover in time for concerts in Arkansas this weekend.
“I’m so sorry to anyone whose been inconvenienced by this but I want to keep myself and my team safe, fortunately, I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and my symptoms are mild,” he said in an Instagram story.
John, who has enjoyed a more than 50-year music career, is marking his retirement from performing on the road with a global tour began in September 2018. Like many musicians, he was forced to halt his shows due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The iconic singer announced he was pushing back the tour’s European dates later in 2021 due to hip problems.
John is due to perform across North America until April. His tour will then take him to Europe and back to North America before playing in Australia and New Zealand next year.
He is scheduled to wrap up the tour in Europe in 2023.
