In the music industry, Elton John is a true legend. The 75-year-old has had a long and successful career, and he appears to be unstoppable. John is responsible for some of the most memorable songs of all time, including "Rocket Man," "Tiny Dancer," and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." The star revealed the final few dates of his final North American tour in March, which would run until November. According to Rolling Stone, he said in a statement, "It's hard to imagine that after tomorrow in St. Louis, I'll have just a handful of shows left before I finish up my final arena performances in the United States." "The most spectacular production I've ever had," the star added of his Yellowbrick Road Tour. He went on to say about his followers, "I'm grateful for the moments we're creating together. It's been nothing short of extraordinary."
After contracting COVID-19 in January, John was forced to cancel a few gigs. The American Airlines Center in Dallas reported at the time that "Elton is completely vaccinated and boosted, and is having only minimal symptoms," according to the New York Times. The musician was photographed in a wheelchair ahead of his appearance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee on January 2, according to the Daily Mail. The photographs sparked a lot of conjecture and questions about John's health, but the singer is now disclosing the reason for his wheelchair use, and it's not what you'd expect.Elton John has spoken out in the wake of persistent rumors regarding his health. After tabloids published a story about him "looking feeble" in a wheelchair, the actor turned to Instagram to say that everything is well. He said in the caption, "The genuine story is that I'm in top health, love my concerts, and playing and singing at my absolute best," adding that he gives "100% every night and never want to disappoint, especially after everyone has waited so long to get back to my shows." We can all breathe a sigh of relief now, phew.The "Rocket Man" singer also explained why photographs of him in a wheelchair were spreading on the internet, explaining that he wasn't using it for any serious concerns, but rather for preventative purposes. "We arrived at Leipzig airport just before curfew after another spectacular 2.5-hour show, only to find part of the airport had closed," he explained. He claims his staff persevered because it was a lengthy trek "kindly sat in a wheelchair for me after the concert so I could rest my hip. That's all there is to it, guys."
The musician celebrated his 75th birthday in March with joy. John shared a snapshot of himself on Instagram wearing a pair of patterned leggings and a varsity letter jacket. Of course, he was wearing his trademark shades. John was standing in front of two massive numerals that read "75," as well as floral arrangements and blue and gold balloons. Elton John, here's to many more years!
