The British star canceled his Dallas farewell concerts set for Tuesday and Wednesday at American Airlines Center, The Dallas Morning News confirmed. The announcement was made hours before the two shows were scheduled to take place. The concerts are part of the Rocketman’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour.
The piano-rock legend’s farewell tour was originally postponed in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In October, John told “Today” he was looking forward to spending more time with his husband David Furnish and their two sons Elijah, 9, and Zachary, 11, after wrapping up his shows.

“They’re going to be teenagers soon. I need to be with them,” John said. “I’ll be 76 [when the tour is over]. I don’t know how much time I have left on this earth after that. You know, I’ve had enough applause. I don’t want to keep traveling. I don’t want to be away from my family.”
In late 2021, he postponed his European tour dates due to a hip injury.
