Elton John recovering in hospital from flu, e-coli
LONDON (AP) - Elton John has been hospitalized after suffering
from a case of E. coli bacterial infection and the flu, his
spokesman said Monday.
Gary Farrow said the pop star hopes to be released soon but has
been forced to cancel concerts in England, Ireland and the United
States.
John intends to rejoin the ``Face2Face'' tour later in the month
when he and Billy Joel play concerts in northern California.
Farrow said 62-year-old John is suffering from a ``bad case of
the flu and a minor case of E. coli.'' His Web site says he was
advised by his doctor to postpone dates in Seattle and Portland.
The Daily Mail's Web site quoted John's partner, David Furnish,
as saying ``He's OK - he's fine,'' after leaving a London hospital.
Farrow says the singer has rescheduled previously canceled dates
during the European leg of his world tour.
