Earlier this month, he gave a health update on TV show Lorraine, revealing he 'can't move sideways', but vowed to 'make it up to' fans who wanted to see him perform.
The music legend explained he was in constant pain and it was unlikely his hip would hold out for the duration of the tour, which was why he decided to have surgery before getting back on the road.
'I can't move sideways. I can't get in and out of a car. And the decision had to be made, because I wouldn't wanna go on stage and give less than 100 per cent,' he said
Elton is considered one of the greatest artists of all time and is known for hits songs Candle in the Wind, Rocket Man and Your Song.
His latest release, Cold Heart ft. Dua Lipa, has topped the charts around the world.
