Sir Elton John has postponed his shows after testing positive for Covid-19.

The global megastar, 74, was due to perform in Dallas, Texas, as he returns to the stage for the first time in almost two years, resuming his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in America.

After finishing his tour in America, he will perform two special homecoming shows at Vicarage Road stadium in July, where he is an honorary life president of Watford Football Club.

However the some of his American shows have been rescheduled after the star announced he contracted Covid.

After revealing on Instagram he has contracted the virus, Sir Elton said his symptoms are mild and he is expecting to perform in Arkansas at the weekend.

He wrote: “Hi everyone, wanted to send a message to let you know that I have contracted Covid and so have had to reschedule my shows in Dallas.

“If you have tickets, you’ll be contacted with the new dates really soon.

“It’s always a massive disappointment to move shows and I’m so sorry to anyone who’s been inconvenienced by this but I want to keep myself and my team safe.

“Fortunately, I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and my symptoms are mild so I’m fully expecting to be able to make the Arkansas shows this weekend.

“As always, thank you for all your love and support and I can’t wait to see you all soon!”
