Elton John is postponing European tour dates so that he can undergo an operation for his injured hip.
The 74-year-old singer-songwriter had been due to play cities in Britain and Europe this year as part of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, followed by shows in the U.S. in 2022.
But he said a fall on a hard surface in late summer had left him in pain.
He said in a statement on Thursday that "despite intensive physio and specialist treatment, the pain has continued to get worse and is leading to increasing difficulties moving. I have been advised to have an operation as soon as possible to get me back to full fitness and make sure there are no long-term complications."

He promised fans that "the shows will return to the road next year and I will make sure they are more than worth the wait."
