Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada:
Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will bypass Canada next month.
Expressing "great regret,'' a terse update to concert listings on the superstar's website cites "COVID-19 restrictions'' for the cancellation of four appearances in Montreal and Toronto.
They include two shows planned for Montreal's Bell Centre on March 9 and 10 and two slated for Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on March 12 and 13.
Pandemic control measures in Ontario and Quebec limit venues to 50 per cent of the usual seating capacity on those dates. Both provinces are set to lift their limits March 14.
Shows planned for Toronto's Rogers Centre on Sept. 7 and Vancouver's BC Place on Oct. 21 remain on John's website.
The Rocket Man singer is in the midst of a massive global tour that he says will be his last, but it has been beset by various postponements and cancellations since the pandemic began.
