Sir Elton John faces surgery soon for appendicitis that has
derailed his European tour, a spokesman for the singer said Tuesday.
According to CNN, the 66-year-old John was diagnosed with
"appendix abscess surrounding retrocaecal appendicitis" after falling
ill during the tour, publicist Gary Farrow said in a written statement.
The surgery will be performed in the United Kingdom
in "the coming weeks" after he undergoes an intensive course of
antibiotics and "doctors can be confident they have sufficiently reduced
toxins within the inflamed appendicitis site," Farrow said.
The remaining shows in his tour have been canceled,
including Friday's headline show at London 's Hyde Park , he said. The concert will still happen with Ray
Davies, Elvis Costello, Gabrielle Aplin and Nick Lowe performing.
