"My priority is always safety": Elton John postpones by one year, from October 2020 to October 2021, his three concerts planned in Bercy because of the health context linked to the coronavirus, he indicated this Tuesday in a communicated.
"It breaks my heart that we had to postpone the 2020 dates that we were all impatiently waiting for, but my team and I worked diligently on the postponements for 2021", explains the star, who had to interrupt his world tour in because of the pandemic.

I hope everyone enjoyed One World: #TogetherAtHome last night as much as we did at home! Huge thanks to @ladygaga, who did such a tremendous job pulling it all together and raising almost $ 128 million to support the # COVID19 crisis. If you missed it, go to globalcitizen.org/togetherathome to watch the stream and for those of you in the UK, tune in to BBC1 at 19.15 tonight to see the show. @who @glblctzn #HeathForAll

The interpreter of "Your Song" expresses his desire to continue the tour "Farewell Yellow Brick Road", before concluding: "Let everyone stay safe and in good health".
Sir Elton will therefore now play at Bercy - renamed Accor Arena - on October 10, 12 and 13, 2021. These will be the last opportunities to see him on stage. He announced that he would then stop his career to devote himself to his family.
Tickets purchased "for the original concerts will be valid for these reports," said his team. However "customers wishing to be reimbursed" may "contact the point of sale where they were purchased, within two months, until September 7, 2020 inclusive".
