Elton John Pulls Dublin Show

Hugely successful ivory tinkler Elton John have been forced to postpone tonight's (October 30th) show in Dublin.

Elton John's tours tend to be mammoth undertakings. Sure, the days of elaborate make up and costume changes are gone but the singer still has a love for anything over the top.

Sadly, his new tour of Britain and Ireland has been dogged by illness. A recent show in Newcastle was postponed due to poor health, with Elton John apologising to fans after being forced to miss the date.

Vowing to return, the singer concentrated on getting well. However it seems as if Elton John's is still suffering from an as yet un-named illness.

A new statement from the singer confirmed that tonight's (October 30th) show in Dublin will not now go ahead. A spokesperson for Elton John revealed that the star has been left saddened after missing the date.

"He is bitterly disappointed not to playing Dublin" the statement said.

"He had picked Dublin to close the Red Piano (tour) worldwide, because of the great warmth of the people and the great concerts he had in the city over many years. He is hoping to reschedule the dates in the very near future."

Fans have been advised to keep hold of their tickets, with promoters attempting to re-schedule the cancelled dates.
