Elton John postpones Orlando show — 20 minutes after it was supposed to start


An ear infection led Elton John to cancel his Orlando show on the “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” tour Tuesday night.

About 20 minutes after the Amway Center show was scheduled to begin, it was called off over the arena’s public address system.

Amway Center officials said the show will be rescheduled for a later date and told fans to hold onto their tickets. Wednesday’s show at Amalie Arena in Tampa has also been canceled.

“We thought it was a joke, we didn't think it was real,” Krupinski said. “So did the people behind us.”

Her parents, Carol and John Krupinski, drove from Jacksonville to see the sold-out show.

“I want my $20 back for parking, but I’m pretty sure they’re not going to do that,” Carol Krupinski said.




Holy crap $250 on tickets
$150 hotel
$30 in drinks

Elton John cancelled for the night... Priceless

When you splurge on the first post-baby date night only to get stood up by Elton John...

Could be worse. He could have always gone full Ashley Simpson and tried to lip sync then failed miserably.

The Amway Center? Did they beat out Ronco for the naming rights?

Went to one of his shows a few years ago and was really impressed how that old fricker played for like 2.5 hours straight with no break. He put on a great show.

I would imagine it’s difficult to put an ear piece in if you have an infection. Not to mention the noise from performing.

Give the guy a break. I’d rather an artist reschedule than perform a half arse shortened concert.

You know the owner of the Orlando Magic who play in the Amway center owns Amway and paid for the naming rights, right?

My point is that Amway is not exactly the most prestigious brand.

I could give a rat’s arse if the team’s owner also owns it, it’s a multilevel marketing scheme.

Did the Mets name the stadium after Bernie Madoff when his Ponzi scheme was helping the team’s cash flow?

At least when George Jones was a no show, it was because he was shitfaced.

To be fair, he wanted to apologize but Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Had he paid for the naming rights they would have.

The man's in his 70's. I'll give him a pass. People can get sick.
To add: a few years ago he had to cancel a Birmingham AL concert the day of the show, also due to an illness.
