Elton John, now 76, fell in his villa in southern France. The singer was taken to a hospital.
Music legend Elton John (76) had to spend the past night in a hospital. The “Tiny Dancer” singer was according to information from the British “BBC” on Sunday evening (August 27) fell in his villa in Nice, France. He was then taken to the Princess Grace Hospital in the neighboring Principality of Monaco for “check-ups”, as a spokesman for the musician confirmed to the “BBC”.
Elton John is ‘back home and in good health’
“We can confirm that Elton went to the local hospital as a precautionary measure following a slip-up at his home in the south of France yesterday,” the official statement said. On Monday morning, however, the megastar was released “after the check-ups”. He is now back home “in good health”.
The Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour ended in July
Elton John only ended his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, which had been going on since 2018, at the beginning of July. The more than 300 concerts on his farewell tour started in September 2018 and had dragged on for years due to the corona pandemic and personal illnesses.
At the same time, however, Elton John has not ruled out returning to the stage for occasional performances in the future. Fans of the Brit will probably no longer experience exhausting, extended tours. “Tours are now exhausting for me and take me away from my family and my children”, he explained to the “Daily Mail”.
Now the singer wants to spend more time with husband David Furnish (60) and their two sons Zachary (12) and Elijah (10). So far, the family has enjoyed the summer in France. Most recently, John is said to have had dinner with actor and Oscar winner Kevin Spacey (64) in Nice. Spacey was acquitted of all charges in a criminal trial in London at the end of July.
