the Expectation and the joy was on Tuesday night turned to disappointment and anger for thousands of Elton John fans who had looked forward to experience him on stage – perhaps for the last time.
The 71-year-old musician is now on a larger afskedsturné around the world, and in the night he should have sung and played in Orlando, Florida.
the Concert would be started at 20 local time, and the audience sat expectant, and waited on the legend. And they waited and waited and waited.
the First 20-25 minutes after the scheduled start, it was clear that Elton John would not – or could – go on the stage.

It’s supposedly an infection in the ears, which meant that Elton John had to give up acting. But such an infection does not occur acutely, and therefore many of the fans that went in vain for the singer, enraged.
On Twitter gives more expression for their anger and frustration at the late cancellation of the concert. The way it happened in, among other things, called pathetic.

#eltonfarewelltour #EltonJohn I can’t believe you canceled an 8pm concert to 8.25 pm. No-one could have called that earlier? Seriously? Unbelievable. My 8 year old mega fan is devastated. pic.twitter.com/sXomyYcVYH

It has already announced that tonight’s concert in Tampa is canceled.
Hopefully this is Elton John right at the top again, when he was 18. may and 6. June 2019 to give a concert, the Royal Arena in Copenhagen. Both the legend’s appearances in the capital are part of his giant afskedsturné, Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which extends from 2018 through to 2021.
