Elton Cancels Gigs Due To E. Coli
Sir Elton John has been forced to cancel three U.S. concerts after he was diagnosed with a "serious case" of E. coli.
John also cancelled a string of gigs in the U.K and Ireland last month due to a bad bout of influenza.
A statement on the star's website reads, "Promoter Live Nation, The KeyArena and The Rose Garden were informed by management that Elton has been advised by his doctor to postpone these performances due to a serious case of E. coli bacterial infection and influenza."
He is reportedly being treated at a hospital in central London.
The gigs in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon will be rescheduled and promoters have asked fans to hold onto their tickets as they try to reschedule the axed shows.
