Sir Elton Battles the Coli

Elton John at the UGA Coliseum in 1973

Elton John has postponed three concerts while he recovers from a serious bout of E.Coli infection. He already canceled a string of shows in Ireland earlier this month when he came down with the flu. When his condition worsened, doctors discovered that he was also suffering from an infection of the nasty bacteria and sent him to a central London hospital for treatment.

I think any jokes about eating raw meat would be in poor taste, so I’m just going to wish the singer good health and hope that he gets well soon.

I found this incredible photo of Elton John playing the UGA coliseum in 1973 in the archives of one of the photo services and just had to share it. That sparkly silver jumpsuit and those glasses were setting the trends for 2009 hipster fashion 36 years before overprivileged WASPS with too much disposable cash could buy them at Urban Outfitters. Respect.

  • A raw meat joke would indeed, be in poor taste! Please allow me… E.Coli infections usually begin with a object being contaminated with human fecal matter. The previously mentioned raw meat was probably still attached to the man weilding the penis. How it got into Sir Eltons mouth I’m sure I’ll never know!
