Sir Elton too ill to perform
SIR Elton John has been forced to pull out of a second major UK show after his flu symptoms failed to improve.
The musician had been due to play at Newcastle Metro Radio Arena last night as part of his Red Piano tour, but doctors have told him he is too ill to perform.
He had to cancel a show last Saturday night in Sheffield after he came down with the bug.
A spokesman for Sir Elton said yesterday: "Elton is bitterly disappointed at missing (last night's] Red Piano concert in Newcastle."
Sir Elton now has until Tuesday to recover before his next scheduled show at London's Wembley Arena.
