The spokesman of English rock singer Elton John informed on Tuesday that he has discontinued the rest of his European tour subsequent to the attack with appendicitis. The strikingly brilliant 66-year-old was due to headline at the British Summer Time festival on Friday night, yet his doctors have recommended him to discontinue all shows in France, Germany, Italy and Spain which are included in his current tour based on the dates.

Furthermore, a statement on his website says that Elton is currently undergoing a course of intensive antibiotics and is expected to undergo surgery in the UK in the coming weeks, once doctors can be confident they have sufficiently reduced toxins within the inflamed appendicitis site. It also added that The Candle In The Wind singer was diagnosed with an appendix abscess surrounding retrocaecal appendicitis in succession to a series of scans along with blood tests.
