Sir Elton John is on the mend after a stint with the flu and E. coli virus. The famed music man fell ill on October 23rd while on tour, and has spent the last week in the hospital. The 62 year old has had to cancel several joint shows with fellow musical star Billy Joel. John is currently resting at home before he is due in the US next week.

The two are set to perform on November 14th at the Oakland Oracle Arena. The duo was scheduled to play at Seattle’s Key Arena on November 4th but had to cancel. John was forced to cancel the final dates of his Red Piano tour because of the nasty virus. There have been no announcements about rescheduling the concerts that were missed in the United States. The final dates for the Red Piano world tour, will hopefully be rescheduled for the European concerts in December.

Billy Joel and Elton John have been on their Face 2 Face tour together throughout the summer. Joel had to cancel several shows in July due to influenza as well.
