Elton John has had another snipped concert, this time in New Zealand. Sir Elton cut short his Auckland performance last night because of pneumonia.
Elton was diagnosed earlier in the day but decided to go ahead with the show. The audience were treated to 15 and a bit songs. He had to cut short the 16th, ‘Daniel’.
In a statement Sir Elton said, “I want to thank everyone who attended the #EltonFarewellTour gig in Auckland tonight.
“I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia earlier today, but I was determined to give you the best show humanly possible”.
