Singer Elton John suffered a domestic accident overnight from Sunday to Monday in his villa in Mont-Boron in Nice. Slightly injured, the 76-year-old Briton was transported by her husband David Furnish to the orthopedic department of the Princess Grace hospital center in Monaco, where he received preventive care.
According to information from Nice-Matin, Elton John had a cerebral and lumbar scan. More fear than harm, the results revealed no fractures. The interpreter of Im Still Standing was already back home in the early morning. “Elton went to the local hospital as a precaution. After a few check-ups, he is now back and in good health,” his agent told the Daily Mail on August 28. The composer, pianist and actor was spending his holidays on the Côte d’Azur with his husband and their two children, a few weeks after the end of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour.
After more than 50 years on the roads, Elton John delivered a final farewell show on July 8, 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden. “I’ve had the most wonderful career beyond belief. 52 years of pure happiness playing music, then confided the famous singer in front of nearly 30,000 people. You bought the singles, the albums, the CDs, the tapes, but more importantly, you bought the tickets for my shows. Playing for you has been my reason for living, and you’ve been absolutely magnificent.”
