A lot of rumors have been plaguing the health and musical career of Sir Elton John. After the music icon revealed his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour's new dates, what's the truth about his well-being?
In March, rumors claimed John only had months to live, so he had to cancel a show in New Zealand. Globe reported he was "mostly confined to a wheelchair" at the time due to his walking pneumonia.
It even contended the famed singer-songwriter could be dead in six months from that time. In addition, National Enquirer asserted his past hard-partying habits and illnesses took its toll on his health, resulting in an inability to sing again.
It outrageously stated the 73-year-old performer's voice might be silenced forever due to his poor health. His history of "cocaine abuse and bulimia" had caught up to him that it affected his voice.
Gossip Cop debunked all of these appalling claims about John. His predicted death never happened. Six months after the wrongful claim emerged, he made an appearance on Emmy Awards.
He, too, is still set to continue his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour until 2022. There is also no truth about his fading voice.
John has been sober for about three decades, so it may be impossible that his drug abuse only takes its toll on him now. Indeed, he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia, but he's all okay now.
He recently posted a video of himself to announce his latest tour dates. Fans will once again see the legendary composer back on stage next year.
According to Metalhead Zone, the "Your Song" hitmaker planned to have over 300 shows across five continents -- North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and South America. It was supposed to end in 2021, but it was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and not his health.
Now, he confirmed his return, talked about his health and the precautions that would be put in place to avoid spreading the coronavirus. In the clip, John revealed he's enjoying his time at home with his family.
The coronavirus lockdown made him missed being on the road and performing in front of his fans. Now, they were making big plans for his return and to "ensure the health and safety of everyone."
John, then, confirmed he's now healthier than ever and fans didn't have to worry about his health amid the malicious rumors about his well-being.
