Aside from his eyes, John has had health challenges with his hip. In 2021, he rescheduled his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour in Europe and the UK to 2023.

He explained his reasons, “At the end of my summer break I fell awkwardly on a hard surface and have been in considerable pain and discomfort in my hip ever since.”

The singer disclosed that despite undergoing extensive physiotherapy and specialized treatment, his pain progressively worsened. This had made movement increasingly difficult. Doctors recommended surgery to ensure his full recovery and to prevent any potential long-term issues.

His representative confirmed that after a precautionary visit to a local hospital for checkups, he was released the morning after he fell and was taken back home, in good health. In 2022, fans expressed concern over John’s health after tabloids circulated images of him in a wheelchair.

He turned to Instagram to address the speculations, writing, “The true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best. I give 100% every night and never want to disappoint, especially after everyone has waited so long to get back to seeing shows.”
