Elton John is on his Farewell Tour, and yesterday in New Zealand, he had to say farewell to the audience way before the curtain went down. The 72-year-old singer explained what happened on social media.
I want to thank everyone who attended tonight’s gig in Auckland. I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia earlier today, but I was determined to give you the best show humanly possible. I played and sang my heart out, until my voice could sing no more. I’m disappointed, deeply upset and sorry. I gave it all I had. Thank-you so much for your extraordinary support and all the love you showed me during tonight’s performance. I am eternally grateful. Love, Elton xx
Talk about the show must go on. Now, Elton needs to put his health first and get better. He still has a bunch of concerts to play. The Rocketman is not going to be able to do that until he is healthy. He needs to listen to his doctors and do what he says. Things like rest up next to the love of his life, not his husband, but his Oscar! Hey Oscar, is the new man in his life. Would anyone blame him if it is his preference for a little while.
