His global tour will officially return on September 1, 2021 in Berlin.

"I really miss being on the road and performing for my beloved fans," John said in a video posted to social media. "While the scientists are making great progress, we are making big plans for a return to touring that will allow us to ensure the health and safety of everyone."
