"Elton and the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour look forward to returning to the stage shortly," the statement concluded.
The positive COVID test and the postponements are just the latest hurdles for the beleaguered Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which began in 2018 and was forced to temporarily shutdown at the onset of the pandemic in 2020, per The Daily Mail. In September, John was forced to postpone the European leg of the tour to undergo hip surgery, Deadline adds. Shows had just resumed on Jan. 20 after an almost two-year hiatus.
