Elton John Hurts Hip, Cancels Rest of 2021 Tour Dates to Get Surgery, Intense Physical Therapy

Share

Speedy recovery to Elton John! He says on social media this morning that he recently fell, and now needs hip surgery and intense rehab.

Elton has always been the hippest rock star ever, so this is no surprise! Staying hip is a hard thing to do!

Sir Elton has been trying to finish his “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” tour for some time but the pandemic interfered and now this! I hope in posting this he’s already had the hip surgery. It can be quite painful to wait.

Ironically, Elton has a hit single right now with Dua Lipa on his “Cold Heart,” and a new album of collaborations.

In his note Elton says he’s still going to do the Global Citizen show next weekend. Note to our friend: don’t do it. It’s a phony charity. Stay home and rest!
