‘Finally decided my future lies…’<\/strong><\/p>\n Sir Elton has sold more than 200 million records over his career and is one of the world’s most in-demand live performers.<\/p>\n Last year, he was\u00a0forced to cancel nine shows\u00a0in Las Vegas and California because of a bacterial infection he contracted during a South American tour.<\/p>\n Sir Elton’s management said the “potentially deadly” infection forced him to spend two nights in intensive care in April and to cancel concerts in the US.<\/p>\n However he played 87 shows throughout 2017, including dates in Europe and Australia, as well as his demanding Las Vegas show, The Million Dollar Piano.<\/p>\n
