Sir Elton John told fans that he is in 'top health' after being pictured in a wheelchair in recent days.
The Your Song singer was snapped arriving at Leipzig Airport in Germany in a wheelchair on Sunday, after performing as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
The 75-year-old star previously confessed that he is 'in pain most of the time' after falling and hurting his hip last summer.
Fans were concerned for the iconic musician, but he later took to Instagram to reassure them that he's 'singing at his very best'.
In the post, he thanked his loyal fans for their messages of support and concern.
"The true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best," he explained.

"I give 100% every night and never want to disappoint, especially after everyone has waited so long to get back to seeing shows. Your response to every show has been phenomenal and I’m loving every minute of it."
Elton added: "After another rousing 2.5 hour show, we arrived at Leipzig airport just before curfew, to find part of the airport had closed.
"It was an extremely long walk to get to the plane, so my team kindly laid on a wheelchair so I could rest my hip after doing the show. That’s all folks."
He then went on to discuss his concert in Bern, Germany.
"Last night was another blockbuster show in Bern and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at this weekend’s sold-out show in Milan," Sir Elton concluded.
"Thanks for all your kind words of support! Love, Elton."

Last year, he explained the extent of his hip injury and said he was unable to get in and out of a car or move sideways.
He said last year of his injury: "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."
