| Singer Elton John became ill while performing. |
Elton John checked into a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday, where
doctors diagnosed the 65-year-old
singer with a serious respiratory
infection, his publicist said Thursday.
John was released from
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after testing and treatment
Wednesday, according to his publicist.
John became ill while
performing his "Million Dollar Piano" show at The Colosseum at Caesars
Palace in Las Vegas last weekend, leading him to undergo testing at
Cedars-Sinai on Wednesday.
"Those tests resulted in
the attending Cedars-Sinai physician recommending that Elton not
perform any concerts for approximately seven days with complete rest
and antibiotic treatment to cure his respiratory infection and prevent
any damage," a statement from the publicist said.
His shows Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at The Colosseum have been canceled, the statement said.
"It feels strange not to
be able to perform these 'Million Dollar Piano' concerts at The
Colosseum," John said in the statement. "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."
