    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.

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 .... ?

    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

    What is walking pneumonia? Is there any different than pneumonia?

    • @katiewaldron5794
      @katiewaldron5794 4 года назад +3

      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

      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

  • @Homosamuel
    @Homosamuel 4 года назад

    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.

    • @suelynrogers
      @suelynrogers 2 года назад

      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.🙏🙏
