Even when fighting walking pneumonia...he still sounds great.
Sir Elton, Bless your heart for “letting the Show go on” while you are Sick, but Please go Get Well and Rest, Recoup, and Recover and then come back and perform when you are All Better. Take Care of yourself 🙏🏻❤️🎹
Heart broken when he had to leave the stage at a later concert. Wasn't this intended as his goodbye tour for his beloved fans. A lesser man would have declined the opportunity, but there is only one Elton John.
What a legend.
The man is 72 years old and still rocking it.ELTON JOHN YOU ARE AMAZING AND KNOW ONE THESE DAYS CAN PLAY THE PIANO AND SING LIKE YOU AND GET WELL SOON.
still gay hahahahr have a cry
I Appreciate Elton as much as the rest .... But . For piano and vocals . . Had and Have you ever heard of Billy Joel ? Brad Delp ? Michael McDonald ? Stevie Wonder ? Lionel Richie ? Barry Manilow ? Ray Charles ? Ronnie Milsap ? Paul McCartney ? Elvis could also sing n play the keys too . . Have you got a couple more hours for my list .... ?

@@ruucrawford6380 and there are straights. Your point is?
He is amazing what a fighter didn't want to let his fans down was sick and still went out and did the show that's a true entertainer but his health is more important than anything Elton take care of yourself first you'll fans will understand don't need you risking your health for a concert you need to take care of you get better soon love ya Elton
One of the best musicians,I was fortunate to have seen. So many moons ago. @the Hollywood sportatorium, Hollywood Florida.Sending you well wishes Elton.
Good performance, great band despite illness - get well soon Elton
We came from Israel for a show in Dunedin on February 4th which is my wife's birthday, who loves Elton John. And I also really enjoyed the amazing performance of this wonderful man. God bless us that we have seen him, and may God bless Elton John, and the New Zealand people.
I think I can speak for a lot of Elton John fans when I say that we would rather you cancel your concerts and come back well and 100% healthy then to continue on like this and get worse. Please, we have lost enough legends this year and it's only getting started. So please go get the health care and rest that you need and come back stronger then ever! Concerts can be rescheduled, and true fans would rather have you healthy then risk losing you. #GetWellElton
Bluegrass Survival yes all are Amazing and Neil Daimon also...Love theme all
So very true..
Thank you❤
Grew up listening to Elton from the 70's, you couldnt turn a corner without hearing this song or another of his. Take care of yourself Elton, dont push it we love you.
Great performance Sir Elton but please take care of yourself.
You are precious!!
Good morning sir enton Jon show good faith God bless you too sweet 🧁
Gotta give him props for going on stage in his condition
Well he was diagnosed that day. I bet he thought it was too late to cancel
can i just point out the guy at 4:00 in the dogers outfit was pretty much at all the shows in nz
Elton is getting old. I hope he takes it easy.
🌹Get well, mate! You are very loved, Elton! 🤩🕺🏻🎩👑🎹🎼🎤
Still excellent
Hope he doesn't get that corona virus and infect the crowd. He is a legend.
HA HA
matt joy dude it wasn’t a joke
Correction, the crowd would infect Elton.
You sound like you are already infected in the brain,that is if you have one.
He did in Texas and cancelled, we watched his rescheduled performance Thursday March 10th. God bless him. He apologized for skipping over us, said enthusiastically, "I'm back Texas, and I'm Covid Free!!"
My idole I LOVE YOU FOREVER
That's Elton, how we all love him! Saw him two years ago in Austria, a lifetime experience!
WHAT A LEGEND!!!!
Love you Elton John. Take care of yourself and get some rest. ♥️
Just like Elvis...they give too much of themselves...until their bodies force them to give in.😱🌸
Poor guy; he shouldn't be out there.
He loves performing though
A beautiful soul and a musical legend.
Luv u Elton✌
Sir enton Jon show good faith God bless you too
I saw him in aami park on the 22 of feb and I am so happy he was ok, get well soon Elton
Take care and be well.
Bless you Elton❤
What is walking pneumonia? Is there any different than pneumonia?
davidsonnow it’s a type of pneumonia which isn’t bad enough for you to be hospitalised or require bed rest so you can ‘walk’ (hence the term walking pneumonia). Although, it is still absolutely horrible and makes you feel very ill. He is incredible for performing whilst so sick. Hope this helps :) x
Wow! That was an impressive performance of Tiny Dancer. I just love what the EJ's band contributes to that song.
Interesting renditions.
He’s Still Awesomely Cool 😘
Professionalism and genious.
Long live Elton.
He Is the best!!
I hope he is healthy.
MY IDOLE I LOVE YOU FOREVER ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Elton is getting old. I hope he takes it easy.

I love his music but live his diction is really bad. Great performer though

Bennie and the Jets is like that in the recording actually, he's barely legible. Tiny Dancer sounds clear to me both hear and on the studio. But I can get that on other songs, like Love Lies Bleeding
I love Elton and dont get me the wrong way but in my opinion the old rendition of Bennie and the Jets in 1970s is a lot better than this. I still love it but I prefer the older melody and structure. I don't know who else agrees.
Get better soon Elton.
Not good. What made him perform when he is so sick? Is it money or ego? Sometimes you need to understand when the show shouldn't go on. People paid good money for a very substandard performance.
Maybe he just wanted not to disappoint his fans, since it's the last tour.
65sheilakay didn’t want to let his fans down! He loves us fans! And he is a true artist!
@@missyglittervlogs3543 Indeed. Imagine the responsibility you feel as an artist, when thousands of your fans bought a ticket for your final show, so happy to have gotten one. You don't want to let them down.
The dudes got loads of fans who paid good money to hear his music performed live for possibly the last time. He didn't want to let them down. What's your problem?
He did not want to let down thousands who may have traveled, spent hotel bills, etc. It cost us work off, plane fare, hotel fees just to get my kids here to Dallas from Lubbock. They also had friends whose parents came from out of state. Hard to reschedule and recoup expenses. His rescheduled concert here was amazing and extremely well worth our second time efforts!! I pray for his health and safety throughout the rest of his tour to make it to that ultimate retirement to be with his kids. He's old, and anything can happen. His hip, Covid, a recent plane hydraulic malfunction between our concert times.🙏🙏
ild want my money back from his concert aswell
You couldn't afford to go to his concerts, Loser!
After years of giving his all to the fans.....he deserves a better comment than that....they are pushed to the limit for one reason or another..yes he would have been better to cancel....but performing is as important as breathing to them.
