   Elton John cancels concert on a very short notice “due to medical reasons,” fans are worried

Sir Elton John unwillingly broke fans’ hearts by canceling a concert in Alabama the other day. He pulled out of the gig just hours before it should have taken place, E! Online reports.

“The British singer has cancelled his Friday night show at the Birmingham Jefferson Complex Arena in Alabama ‘due to medical reasons’,” the e-zine says.

“Ticketmaster announced the cancellation just hours before the show on its website,” adds the same media outlet. Refunds are available.

The fact that John canceled the concert on such a short notice could only mean a medical emergency of some sorts, voices online are saying.

However, for the time being, no one can offer more details about the singer’s health or whether whatever prevented him from performing last night has been dealt with.
