Elton Retiring? I Hope Not!
Elton John is preparing to hang up his enormous glittery cape for the last time. British newspaper The Daily Mirror — not always accurate — reports that the 70-year-old singer—known for hits such as “Tiny Dancer,†“Rocket Man,†and “Your Songâ€â€”will retire from touring after one final world tour. John will reportedly announce the decision at what’s been billed—in fittingly extravagant style—as a joint press conference hosted simultaneously in both London and New York on Wednesday. The Daily Mirror claims that John’s decision to retire was made after he spent time in intensive care last year when he fell ill in South America with what his spokesperson called a “harmful and unusual bacterial infection.â€
