Elton John, Seriously Dude

[FloridaRob]

Thirty years ago I had two tickets to see Elton in Tampa. I took my girlfriend at the time in a driving rain storm to the event only to find out when driving in that he cancelled the concert because he had the "flu". Of course years later we find out he was dealing with other issues that were not "flu" related. But we were told he was going to reschedule fo the next night. So I went back to Ticket Master and upgraded my tickets to close to the front. I paid another fee for the new tickets and went back the next night. Again, the next night I am driving into the parking lot and attendant says he had to cancel again due to the "flu'

So he is making his farewell tour and was going to be in Amalie Arena tonight. My son sent me two tickets. Found out last night about 11 that he cancelled the concert for tonight. Apparently he was in Amway arena in Orlando last night with a full house and his spokesman walks out 20 minutes before showtime and says he has an "ear infection" I guess it is too early for the "flu"

Damn Diva-what is it about Central Florida?

Dude's pretty old. Could be something more embarrassing than an earache.

That sucks.

 

[CouchCoach]

That sucks.

So does Elton John

So does Elton John

I live across from Detroit and I saw Elton John on the Canadian side in a 6000 seat arena. It was a good concert. Very surprised he'd play here.

 

[GMO415]

All humans are flawed. Burn you once shame on him.....burn you trice...shame on you.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Go to Metallica. As far as I know, they've only cancelled shows where James was hospitalized. lol

By the time they finish their current tour in 2019, they will be less than 40 shows from breaking the 2,000 shows barrier.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

IDK, a ear infection might be the reason. Maybe the loud volume and the inability to hear himself on the monitors have something to do with it? Still sucks big time though.

 

[Hardline]

So does Elton John

I heard he has a clothing store in London called OUT OF THE CLOSET.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

That's a bummer, man. I had a friend who drove across the country to see Elvis perform, only to find out his tickets were counterfeit.

 

[lukin2006]

Elton must be a wimp. The Stones are touring the US this summer...and if you thought Elton is old...

 

[Corso]

So does Elton John

He's no Billy Joel.

Talk about bad timing. That's too bad.

"AN EARACHE MY EYE!! NOW GET YOUR CLOTHES ON, AND GET YOUR LITTLE BUT READY FOR THE CONCERT!!" - CHEECH AND CHONG - THEY WOULD'VE BEEN A BETTER CONCERT ANYWAY.

If Elton does have an Ear Infection, then it is understandable ... ear infections are no fun and probably less fun in an arena with loud rock n roll music.

Heard a radio discussion on this. They compared him to Axel Rose, who played for 2hrs+ at a concert in Dubai on Sunday in spite of being very sick and needing IVs.

Yet he's notorious for walking off stage at the drop of a hat.
