Representatives of Sir Elton John confirmed that the singer is in the hospital, recovering from E.Coli.  The sixty-two year old musician was forced to cancel his shows in Newcastle, Liverpool, Dublin and Wembley because he was diagnosed with a serious case of E.coli.  According to Elton John’s reps, Elton has the flu but is “definitely fine”.

At the moment, the singer’s concert tour “Face 2 Face” with Billy Joel has been put into a halt because of the singer’s health.  The upcoming shows in the West Coast are temporarily cancelled and the organizers have requested ticket holders to hold on to their tickets until further notice. The shows in Portland and Seattle— previously rescheduled from their summer dates when Billy Joel fell ill with flu-like symptoms will most likely be rescheduled again.  The two rock legends have been on tour for six months.
