Legendary singer Elton John has cancelled his next month of live performances after being hospitalised for a “rare and potentially deadly” infection. According to the statement the musician is “expected to make a full and complete recovery,” reported Entertainment Weekly. John’s April and May run of his The Million Dollar Piano show in Las Vegas, as well as a May 6 gig in Bakersfield, California, have been cancelled. The 70-year-old singer-composer contracted a bacterial infection during his recent South American tour and was immediately hospitalised upon his return to England after showing signs of illness. John was released on Saturday and he is now resting at home. (PTI)
