When you gather thousands of fans in Orlando, FL, the last thing they expect to hear is that the concert they've been waiting for has been canceled. But that's exactly what happened on Tuesday, Nov. 27, when Elton John's concert at the Amway Center was called off just 30 minutes after it was supposed to start. According to a statement from the legendary musician's team, Sir Elton was sidelined due to an ear infection. Adding insult to injury, the following day’s show in Tampa, FL, was also canceled.

Taken 5 minutes apart. Elton John's #FarewellYellowBrickRoad show cancelled. We were all sitting and waiting for 1/2 hour. As someone who also went home from work early sick, I hope he feels better, but dang. pic.twitter.com/NANHz3GhRi

Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour
At 71 years old, Sir Elton is in the midst of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour—a three-year journey that he says will be his last. This tour has been a major event for fans, and the cancellations in Orlando and Tampa have left many wondering what lies ahead. While the cancellations have been tough to swallow, it’s important to remember that this is likely the last chance fans will have to see the iconic musician perform live. So, when Elton says he’s feeling under the weather, it’s probably best to trust that he needs to take care of himself.
Interestingly, Elton has also been featured in a heartwarming commercial by British retailer John Lewis. The ad beautifully captures various stages of Elton’s life, with five relatively unknown actors portraying him at different ages. The most touching moment comes when we see a young Elton receiving a piano as a gift, and later, the present-day Elton reflecting on his journey while playing that same piano. It’s a reminder of how music has been the constant in his life, shaping who he is today.
Rocketman: The Movie
For those who can’t make it to the tour, there’s always the movie Rocketman, which offers a fascinating glimpse into Elton’s early life and rise to fame. Taron Egerton, known for his roles in Kingsman and Eddie the Eagle, delivers a stellar performance as Elton, capturing both his charisma and vulnerability. Watching the trailer, it’s clear that Egerton nails the role, bringing Elton’s story to life in a way that feels authentic and emotional. As fans wait for Elton to recover, they can enjoy this cinematic tribute to one of music’s greatest legends.
So, here’s hoping Elton feels better soon and gets back to doing what he does best—performing for the fans who love him so much. Stay tuned for updates on the rescheduled dates for the canceled concerts.
