SHOW DATES & TICKETS: ELTON JOHN RED PIANO TOUR UK DATES CANCELLED TICKET REFUND DETAILS ANNOUNCED Sir Elton John's management have confirmed that the star is recovering well following his release from hospital, having contracted influenza and an e-coli bacterial infection. Unfortunately this led to the postponement of the four UK shows on his Red Piano tour last month. Sadly, due to venue availability in all four cities and the scale of the Red Piano show, these shows cannot be rescheduled and have now been cancelled. Elton has been overwhelmed by the tremendous loyalty and messages of support he has received from his fans in the UK and is terribly disappointed not to have been able to perform the shows. Promoters were quick to thank all ticket holders for their patience over the last few weeks and confirmed that refunds of the full face value of the ticket would commence this week. All ticket holders should apply to their point of ticket purchase for their refund.


Thirty years after debuting with the classic lover's ballad, Your Song, Elton John is as relevant as ever. In many ways, the public's enduring attachment to him makes him more relevant than ever. In an age of quickfire celebrity few stars have successfully managed to surf the fickle fortunes of musical stardom. Elton has done it over and over again. Commercially, creatively, on stage and on record, he is one of the only sustaining artists for whom there still does not appear to be enough hours in the day. Gregarious, show-stopping, outlandish and unforgettable - words that could be Elton as much as they are Vegas. After an incredible five year run, 248 performances and a million happy fans, Elton is set to sprinkle that Vegas magic across the UK this October. With his good friend, maximalist photographer David LaChapelle, at the creative helm conjuring up an Aladdins Cave of glitz to backdrop the event, Elton John The Red Piano is a night that will never be forgotten. "From the moment he stepped on stage in front of a massive screen and blasted out Benny and the Jets, the crowd were treated to a master class in superstar excess" Daily Star "Its big. It's bold. And it's brassy" Liverpool Echo "A two hour journey of his catalogue of hits" Evening Standard
