Sin City has lost some concerts from a world-class musician because after Celine Dion had to cancel her shows in Vegas due to a bad throat problem, now Elton John had to pass on four of his own Vegas shows this weekend because of a serious respiratory infection.

According to TMZ:

Elton checked into Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. at 6 AM Wednesday. John underwent a battery of tests, after which the doctors recommended that he NOT perform for 7 days. He was told he needed “complete rest and antibiotic treatment to prevent damage.’”

And like most artists, Elton is deeply sorry about not being able to make it to his shows. He told TMZ:

“It feels strange not to be able to perform these ‘Million Dollar Piano’ concerts at the Colosseum … I love performing the show and I will be thrilled when we return to the Colosseum in October to complete the 11 concerts.”

His message to his fans:

“All I can say to the fans is ‘sorry I can’t be with you.”

The site also mentions that he may already be discharged from the hospital and is resting.
