Ben Gibson/Rocket EntertainmentElton John was forced to cancel his show last night in Orlando, Florida, and his show tonight in Tampa, Florida, due to illness.
A statement on Twitter reads, “Elton has been on a course of antibiotics to combat an ear infection and it was expected that these would clear the infection in time to play the Orlando show. Elton had traveled to the venue, but after further consultation with doctors before he took the stage, the decision had to be taken on their advice that unfortunately, he still wasn’t well enough to perform.”
The statement goes on say that Elton cannot perform with “impaired hearing and ear pain,” and adds, “He will take a couple of days rest to allow the infection to clear up, and both [shows] will be rescheduled as soon as possible.”
Elton has plenty of time to reschedule those dates, given that his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will last three years and it only started two months ago.
The Rocket Man’s next scheduled show is this Friday in Atlanta.
