Elton John postpones summer tour due to COVID-19 lockdown

Elton John was due for his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road tour this summer. The tour was supposed to go by America from May till July but was called off due to the growing concerns surrounding the pandemic.

According to a report by Metro, a statement was issued, stating, "It is with deep regret that Elton John must postpone the remainder of his upcoming North American 2020 dates on his 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' tour from May 22 through July 8.”

"This tough decision has been made with the continued safety and well-being of his fans at a time when health services are under increased pressure and with the concern that these gatherings continue to risk accelerating the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19)."

"Ticketholders of all 2020 postponed performances should hold onto their original tickets as new show date information for 2021 will be announced soon. All original tickets will be honoured at the rescheduled performances.”

The statement further read, “Elton promises to continue performing live for all his dedicated fans around the world again, and thanks you for your endless support."
