Infection forces Elton John to cancel shows

Infection forces Elton John to cancel shows

LAS VEGAS

Elton John has canceled more than a month of upcoming shows after contracting an unusual bacterial infection during a South America tour that left him in intensive care for two nights.

John, 70, is scrapping all upcoming April and May dates of “The Million Dollar Piano” at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, as well as performance on May 6 in Bakersfield, Calif.

The “Rocket Man” and “Daniel” singer says in a statement that he became “violently ill” on a flight to the United Kingdom from Chile and “underwent immediate treatment” at a hospital, where he was released Saturday. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Guest ‘uncomfortable’ with Hannity comments

NEW YORK

A former Fox News guest says Sean Hannity made her feel “uncomfortable” by repeatedly asking her to his hotel while on assignment more than a decade ago, and said she stopped appearing on the host’s show soon after refusing to meet him.

But Debbie Schlussel said Monday she doesn’t believe that Hannity’s behavior constituted sexual harassment, clarifying remarks she made last week on an Oklahoma radio show.

Hannity responded to Friday’s radio interview with KFAQ by saying Schlussel’s account is “100% false and a complete fabrication.”
