Iconic singer Elton John recently made headlines after a minor accident at his villa in Nice, France. The 76-year-old artist, famous for hits like “I’m Still Standing” and “Rocket Man,” was promptly taken to the Princess Grace Hospital’s orthopedic center in Monaco for precautionary measures. Fortunately, after a brief stay and necessary check-ups, he was discharged and is now safely back at home in good health.
John’s representative confirmed the incident, explaining that he had slipped at his home in the South of France, leading to the hospital visit as a precautionary measure. The discharge followed the next morning after the necessary checks.
During the summer, Elton John had been residing on the beautiful French Riviera, enjoying quality time with his family, including his husband, David Furnish, and their two children. This leisurely stay followed the conclusion of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which wrapped up in early July.
Reflecting on his remarkable career spanning over five decades, the singer expressed immense gratitude for the unwavering love and support from his fans. He recognized the pivotal role his fans played in his success, emphasizing their contribution through buying not only his music but also tickets to his shows. He described his 52-year music career as “pure joy” and marveled at his luck in being able to share his music with the world.
Elton John’s farewell tour was a deeply emotional experience for him. He described the final night as magical and admitted that it would take some time to fully process the fact that he had concluded his touring career. He thanked his fans for their undying support, calling it a humbling experience that would remain with him forever.
While Elton John has officially retired from touring, he hinted at the possibility of releasing new music in the future, albeit without the exhaustive tours that accompanied his previous work. He explained that touring had become physically exhausting and often took him away from his family and children.
In related news, Elton John was spotted in St. Tropez, where he mingled with several A-list celebrities. Notably, he was photographed sharing a meal with Kevin Spacey, who had recently been cleared in his sexual assault trial.
