Elton John Cancels Hyde Park Gig

Updated: 6:44am UK, Wednesday 10 July 2013

Sir Elton John has been forced to cancel a headline performance in Hyde Park after being diagnosed with appendicitis.

The star had been due to perform on Friday night, topping a bill which also features Elvis Costello and The Kinks' Ray Davies.

He called in doctors after being taken ill during his European tour.

Sir Elton, 66, had undergone a series of scans and blood tests in the UK and is now taking antibiotics to reduce the inflammation, after which he will have surgery.

The singer's spokesman said Sir Elton would not return to touring until he was fully recovered from the surgery and the damage caused by the abscess.

"Elton is incredibly disappointed to postpone these tour dates," he said.

"To know that he made such superhuman efforts and continued to perform to thousands through his illness only confirms his dedication to his European fans.

"He is eager to be back on top form and return to play the remaining shows starting in early September 2013."

It is the latest health scare for the star.

Last year, he cancelled a number of shows because of a respiratory infection. He also missed concerts due to a bout of food poisoning.

The star had a pacemaker fitted in 1999 after doctors found he had an irregular heartbeat.

Organisers have now said the Hyde Park event will be free following Sir Elton's withdrawal, and existing ticket-holders will get a full refund.

Rob Hallett, the president of international live touring for show promoter AEG Live, said: "We certainly wish Elton a speedy recovery and know that he would have hated for us to cancel the whole day's events because of this.

"In the beautiful surroundings of Hyde Park and the incredible weather we are having, our show goes on."
