Elton musste das Konzert in Tucson von gestern auf heute verschieben. Es heißt, er hätte eine Lebensmittelvergiftung. Gute und schnelle Besserung Elton!!!!!
TUCSON, Ariz. — A bout of food poisoning has caused the postponement of Elton John's scheduled concert at Tucson Arena. The Arizona Daily Star reports that Wednesday night's show was nearly sold out with about 8,800 tickets purchased. Organizers say the British rocker will perform Thursday night instead. A spokeswoman for the Tucson concert venue says John apologizes for the inconvenience caused by his illness, but doctors say he will be fine to take the stage Thursday.
wie einfach man das wort lebensmittelvergifung hört...und man weiß gar net, wie schlimm sowas sein kann :/ ich drück alle daumen, dass es ihm besser geht!!!!!
Ich würde mir nicht zu große Sorgen machen - Lebensmittelvergiftung kann auch heißen, dass seine Sahnetorte 'nen Stich hatte und er zweimal öfter als sonst zum Klo rennen musste...
So, ich weiß zwar nich, ob das hier richtig is aber Elton war vor einigen Tagen/1 woche (?) auf einem Gaga Konzert (wurde das schon erwähnt?).. Ein Video habe ich ENDLICH gefunden, obwohl die Quali sonana is...

Elton ist wohl immer noch nicht ganz gesund. Das Konzert gestern musste er auch kurz unterbrechen. Hier ist ein Bericht:
The best performers in most contemporary music idioms thrive on spontaneous moments that help make each of their concerts different, if not unique. Unless, that is, the moment in question is an unsettling one, as was clearly the case for Elton John last night at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Chula Vista.
The British pop superstar had just completed his fifth selection, a wonderfully inspired version of “Tiny Dancer,” when a force greater than music intervened and forced him to leave the stage 41 minutes into his set. “I’m so sorry to inconvenience you guys,” John told the 17,000-strong, multigenerational audience. “But I had a stomach virus earlier this week and had to postpone a show in Tucson. I’ll be back in a few minutes. I’m so sorry.”
The 63-year-old singer-songwriter and his five-man band returned three minutes later. He resumed his hits-packed show with his propulsive, disco-era hit, “Philadelphia Freedom,” which was delivered with sufficient verve and vigor to suggest his stomach ailment had been put in check.
To reinforce his victory of mind over matter, he skillfully performed 18 more songs that, together, lasted nearly two hours. His ability to persevere in the face of discomfort suggested his decision to legally change his name in 1972, from Reginald Kenneth Dwight to Elton Hercules John, was – still paying dividends.
With the exception of one new song, the ballad “You’re Never Too Old to Love Somebody,” from his upcoming joint album with Leon Russell, John focused on his hits and such classics as “Madman Across the Water” and “Take Me to the Pilot.” The majority of the two-dozen selections he performed came from the 1970s, beginning with the concert-opening “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” through to the show-concluding encore of “Your Song.”
While he sang some of his best-known numbers, including “Bennie and the Jets” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” in a lower register than in previous decades, John never coasted. Moreover, his rollicking piano playing -- which deftly referenced the work of such New Orleans keyboard greats as Professor Longhair, James Booker and Allen Toussaint -- mixed blues, gospel and boogie-woogie so skillfully that one could only wonder if he was a product of the Big Easy, not London’s Royal Academy of Music.
Whatever his artistic origins and inspirations, John gave a winning performance that was all the more impressive in the wake of his intestinal ailment. He lagged only with a mid-set string of ballads that seemed designed more to let him catch his breath than for maximum musical impact. But he recovered even before “The Bitch is Back” and “Crocodile Rock” helped transform the sprawling Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre into celebration central for John and his devoted fans.
