Elton John Cancels Vegas Gigs Due To 'Serious Infection'

Sir Elton John, hospitalized with a "serious respiratory infection" on Wednesday, was advised by a doctor to cancel three upcoming concerts in Las Vegas, The Los Angeles Times reported.

“It feels strange not to be able to perform these ‘Million Dollar Piano’ concerts at the Colosseum,” John, 65, said in a press release. “I love performing this show and I will be thrilled when we return to the Colosseum in October to complete the 11 concerts soon to be scheduled. All I can say to the fans is sorry I can't be with you.”

John was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles early Wednesday morning and remained there throughout the day. Performances scheduled for Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at Caesar's Palace are canceled as a result.
