Elton John has canceled multiple shows due to an illness that has dogged him for several months … sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.
We’re told Elton has canceled shows between now and May 5 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Vegas, where he’s performed for years. He’s also canceled a gig in Bakersfield, CA.
A rep for the singer says Elton recently contracted a “harmful and unusual bacterial infection” during a flight home from Santiago, Chile. We’re told Elton underwent treatment immediately and has been told by doctors to rest.
Elton is expected to make a full recovery and will hit the stage again June 3.
