The singer, 75, has suffered with multiple ailments in recent years and recently took a break from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour due to health issues. From Covid to undergoing hip surgery and a battle with prostate cancer, MailOnline has taken a look back at Elton's chequered health history in recent years. Health: Elton John recently appeared frail as he was pictured in a wheelchair at an airport in Germany ahead of his planned pre-recorded Jubilee performance The Rocketman star has been using a wheelchair since 2019 after he suffered a sprained ankle. However, he has not let it stop him from travelling and said from Florence, Italy at the time: 'Not even a sprained ankle could keep me away from seeing one one of the most beautiful museums in the world.' In September 2021, Elton announced that he was postponing the European and UK leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour until 2023, after suffering an awkward fall. The performer said he was in constant pain and it was unlikely that his hip would hold out for the duration of the tour, which is why the decision was made to have hip surgery before getting back on the road. Issues: The singer, 75, has suffered with multiple ailments in recent years and recently took a break from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour due to health issues Prior to the surgery, Elton said he couldn't 'move sideways' and was unable to get in and out of his car, making his touring prospects impossible. In a statement at the time, he said: 'It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I am forced to reschedule the 2021 dates of my Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in Europe and the UK to 2023', with the tour pegged to recommence in New Orleans in January 2022. '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. 'Despite intensive physio and specialist treatment, the pain has continued to get worse and is leading to increasing difficulties moving.

'I will be undertaking a program of intensive physiotherapy that will ensure a full recovery and a return to full mobility without pain.' He added: 'I completely feel your frustrations after the year we've had. I promise you this - the shows will return to the road next year and I will make sure they are more than worth the wait. Love, Elton x'. Back in July 2021, Elton was forced to postpone a selection of dates from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour again, due to Covid-19. Fans in Germany who had booked tickets to see Elton perform in September will have to wait until as far as 2023 to see the pop icon live. The tour, which began in 2018 and is slated to include 309 shows, was due to get back-on-track in Berlin before heading to Munich, Hamburg, Mannheim, and Cologne.

The musician cancelled shows in Texas when he tested positive for Covid in January 2021, however he had been vaccinated at the time so was only expecting mild symptoms. In his 2019 autobiography Me, Elton revealed that he had prostate cancer and was 24 hours from death after catching an infection following surgery. Elton had been touring South America in 2017 when he had to be rushed home to the UK after feeling 'worse than I ever had in my life'.

'For two days afterwards, I was in intensive care. When I came round, they told me I'd contracted a major infection in South America, and that they were treating it with massive intravenous doses of antibiotics.' Elton, who said he had several MRI scans and other procedures, added that his husbad David Furnish was told he was 24 hours from death. The singer opened up further about the ordeal in an interview with Graham Norton in 2019 where he compared himself to the Bionic Woman. He said: 'I literally had to learn to walk again. I was extremely sick. Luckily I survived it. Now I am fine. But there are very few bits of me left!' 'There is no hair, a pacemaker, there is no tonsils, there is no prostate, there is no appendix. I have had kidney stones. Family: The star also admitted that he had feared he would not live to see his children Zachary, 11, and Elijah, nine, grow up after the health ordeal (pictured in 2015) 'I am like the Bionic Woman. I am like Lindsay Wagner or Steve Austin. Whichever one you want to call it.' The star also admitted that he had feared he would not live to see his children Zachary, 11, and Elijah, nine, grow up after the health ordeal. He told how he did a Las Vegas show in a lot of pain after the operation and thought: 'Don’t let me die, I want to see my children grow up.' Elton has suffered other more minor ailments in years' past, having been forced to cancel a November 2018 show in Orlando due to an ear infection and another show in Verona due to the flu.
