Elton John Has E-coli and Flu

Elton John has postponed some concerts and checked himself into a London hospital for treatment of an E. coli bacterial infection and the flu.

John, 62, was resting last night in King Edward VII Hospital, with his partner, David Furnish, by his side.

“He has got an infection, flu and everything that goes with it,” a representative said. “He’s OK. He’s fine.”

Cities where shows have been postponed include Dublin, Liverpool, London, Newcastle and Sheffield as well as Portland, Ore., and Seattle. John intends to rejoin the “Face2Face” tour later in the month when he and Billy Joel play concerts in northern California.
