Elton John cancels shows due to sickness

Elton John has checked into Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, suffering from a serious respiratory infection.

TMZ has reported that doctors have ordered John to cancel several of his Las Vegas shows, and told him that he will need antibiotic treatment and rest.

Elton John told TMZ:

“It feels strange not to be able to perform these Million Dollar Piano concerts at the Colosseum. I love performing the show and I will be thrilled when we return to the Colosseum in October to complete the 11 concerts.”

Elton is scheduled to begin a European tour on June 1 in Wetzlar, Germany. At this stage, there are no plans to cancel the start of the tour. He will be back in North America in September.
