Elton John admits that he tested positive for…See More

In a heartfelt Instagram post moments ago, music legend Elton John revealed he has contracted COVID-19, forcing him to postpone two farewell tour dates in Amsterdam. The Rocket Man singer, who has been meticulously cautious throughout the pandemic due to his age and past health struggles, shared a tired-but-smiling selfie with the caption: “Even with every vaccine and booster, this damn virus found me. A humbling reminder that no one is invincible.”

The diagnosis comes just weeks after John’s emotional final UK show at Glastonbury, where he performed for over 120,000 fans. Tour doctors confirmed he began experiencing “extreme fatigue and that-not-quite-right feeling” during a Paris soundcheck yesterday. “I wanted to power through,” John wrote, “but my husband David and the medical team staged an intervention worthy of my 70s intervention days.”

Fans and fellow artists flooded the comments with support. Eminem posted “Get well, Captain Fantastic” with a rocket emoji, while longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin quipped “At least you can’t blame this on the yellow brick road.” Health experts praised John’s transparency, noting his announcement could boost booster uptake among seniors. “When icons share their COVID experiences, it cuts through misinformation,” tweeted Dr. Eric Topol.

True to form, John signed off with characteristic wit: “Don’t fret—I’m isolating with 72,000 books, a piano, and enough sequined masks to outfit the Resistance.” His postponed “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” dates will be rescheduled for August, with ticket holders receiving first access to what he promises will be “an even more explosive return.”
