Elton John may no longer end his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles — scheduled for November 19th and 20th, 2022 — as he’s postponed part of the German leg to 2023 because of ongoing capacity restrictions.
In a statement, he says, “As we begin to exit this terrible global pandemic, we are all faced with regulations and restrictions that we must adhere to.
“As such it has been necessary to once again review my Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and make some difficult decisions. I hope you can appreciate that these decisions are not ones we have taken lightly, but with due consideration for the situation in each country and the safety of our fans and everyone involved with this amazing show.
“Based on the information we have received, venues in Germany will not be allowed to reopen to 100 per cent capacity in the near future, and as we have sold 100 per cent of the tickets to my show we have taken the decision to reschedule.”
The German cities postponed to April and May of 2023 are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Mannheim and Cologne.
No word yet if he’ll reschedule Dodger Stadium to make it the last shows of the tour.
He’s scheduled to resume the tour on September 17th in Stockholm, Sweden with the U.S. leg set to start on January 19th in New Orleans.
