Elton John Postpones New York Shows Amid Coronavirus Fears

UNIONDALE, NY — Citing the health concerns of his fans, Elton John announced today that he would be postponing several US dates of his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour, including the two Nassau Coliseum shows scheduled for April.

The shows originally scheduled for April 17 and 18 at Nassau Coliseum are postponed. Elton John also postponed other shows in New York City: the April 6 and 7 shows at Madison Square Garden and the April 10 and 11 shows at the Barclays Center.

Ticket holders for those shows will be notified when they are rescheduled. Original tickets will be honored at the new performances.

Elton John is not the only performer to cancel an upcoming concert at the Coliseum. Michael Buble recently made the same move, and many other shows and sporting events have also been canceled.
