AILING legend Elton John has been forced to cancel the Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, dates on his current tour, costarring Billy Joel.
The Rocket Man hitmaker, 62, was recently hospitalized with “a serious case of E.coli bacterial infection and influenza”.
John’s spokesman Gary Farrow said that, despite the hospitalization, the Rocket Man hitmakerwas “absolutely fine” and hoped to return to entertaining soon.
It is understood that the singer has undergone a series of blood tests, X-rays and scans to find out why his illness has proved so debilitating.
Sir Elton postponed a Dublin performance on Thursday after earlier shelving concerts in London, Liverpool, Sheffield and Newcastle, according to the star’s official website.
“The feeling is Elton will be out of action for four weeks,” said a source close to the star.
“His voice has temporarily gone and he has been having severe coughing bouts, so there is no way he can play concerts for a while.”
