Sir Elton’s flu forces gig cancellations
Sir Elton John has cancelled UK engagements due to illness.
Sir Elton was forced to pull out of two concerts in England due to the flu, his publicist said.
The concerts were to take place at Newcastle Metro Radio Arena and Sheffield Arena. The 62-year-old megastar was said to be grief-stricken over the recent loss of Stephen Gately of Boyzone. Sir Elton’s civil spouse, David Furnish, attended Gately’s Dublin funeral service.
Sir Elton’s publicist said: “Elton is bitterly disappointed at missing tonight’s Red Piano concert in Newcastle – one of his favourite areas to perform. The crowds are always great music fans and not being able to put on this special show for Newcastle is upsetting.”
Sir Elton’s next scheduled performance is at the Wembley Arena Tuesday and Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Wednesday, the BBC said.
