Elton John spotted in a wheelchair

There are recordings that should worry fans: Elton John had taken a break during his tour due to illness. Now the singer was photographed in a wheelchair at a German airport.

Elton John is currently giving farewell concerts in Europe. However, the musician had to interrupt his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour for a short time a few months ago. The reason for this was an injury to his hip, which he sustained in a fall. In the meantime he has continued the concert series at home after a break and was on stage in Leipzig a few days ago.

Photographers then got him in front of the camera lens, as “Daily Mail” now reports. Footage shows the artist getting into a wheelchair after exiting a black car and being pushed by a man. His face is covered by a mask. He wears a blue two-piece suit with red and white detailing, according to the British newspaper by luxury brand Gucci. He is said to have been on his way from Leipzig to Nice at the time.

The release of the pictures comes just before a major event in which the 75-year-old will play a role: the 70th Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in England. However, his performance should be pre-recorded as he is on a European tour at the same time. On the other hand, other megastars such as Alicia Keys, Sir Rod Stewart or Hans Zimmer will be there live.
