Elton John Seriously Ill, Cancels Tour Dates

elton-john

Music legend Sir Elton John has been forced to call off a string of tour dates after being struck down with the e coli bug. An announcement on his official website says he is suffering from a “serious case of E.coli bacterial infection and influenza,” and is currently being treated at London’s private King Edward VII hospital.

After postponing many tour dates around Britain, he’s now cancelled concerts with Billy Joel in the U.S. on doctor’s orders. His partner David Furnish says he’s “doing fine” – get better soon! [Photo: WENN]

    I find it interesting that so many people are praying for Elton John and saying stuff like, “God bless” when it’s a well-known fact that Elton hates Christianity. Sorry to point out the obvious, but your prayers mean nothing to him.

    Get well an then get yer arse back out there!

    And if you die it better be rockin on the piano ,Not layin in bed for months,because thats what your gonna do.They already have a quote from Dave and he said your fine!!LOL Theres nothing nice about ecoli, The Washington county fair in upstate ny had ccontaminated water ,were the manure run off was going into the pipes that were water fountains were connected to 1 child died and maybe more,alot were sick from just drinking any kind of water thats not botteld, Thats why I say ecoli? thats dirty water or some other injested liquid and then turns you inside out.,Bental is good for stomach ask your doctor if you dont already have it.,Well Im sure youve got the best doctors on it, Im glad to be talking so casually to you as if I actually know you I feel like a part of me does and you cant leave us dammit! ,Think Vegas for 5 years than put out an album , load it with a promotional comback, Album (new songs and melodys would be great!either way and smellin like arose ! or arose either one would be good now,I am Really laughing now!
    If you have the opportunity to do your craft and not have to travel for awhile to “rest”,but in the best stle there would be outragous bidding wars for what hotel suduces you,you make all the rules and then they,ll pay you outrages summs of Money,I think you know this and if you didnt you do now!

Do you have a blog on your site?.You often wonder what other fans are thinking,and of course we would love to hear from you,time will tell amen .halleyhea,and Ji ho(slumdog millionairs song,you can download it from any site Ji. HO,its my newest download it a great pick me up,especcially inthe earlier afternoon,take notes Dave:) And again Good Luck kind sirs,cheeriochap!

  • audrea s lambert says:

    Is he into buddhism or Kaballah ? Bad shrimp or something. None of us are infalliable.

  • jane says:

    I LOVE Elton John, but it sounds like AIDS to me — let’s all hope not tho…

  • anonymous says:

    You know not to be a stickler in the mud or anything but, ecoli can also be found in poop. Maybe he was performing oral sex on his partner and was eating his but hole and accidentally swallowed a bug. Nevertheless I do wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.
