Faced with the easing of restrictions, the 74-year-old singer was then happy to be able to go back on stage and find his audience who had been so loyal for decades. Last October, it was in Paris that the artist was to perform, but he finally had to cancel his visit to France, explaining that he had suffered a heavy fall at the end of the summer.
“Since then I have suffered from considerable pain and discomfort. Despite specialized treatments and intensive rehabilitation, the pain has gotten worse and makes it difficult for me to move around“, had explained the singer. Back on his feet, Elton John had then decided to return to the path of concerts.
