After just extending his tour, Sir Elton walked off stage due to walking pneumonia last night.

struggled to power through his performance Saturday night, but eventually, he was forced to throw in the towel due to a bad case of walking pneumonia.

Sir Elton performed in Auckland and made it clear to the crowd ... he was hurting. Nevertheless, he performed until he couldn't. He had already performed for about 1.5 hours. Check out the video ... Elton sounds really good as he performs"Rocketman," but eventually he just couldn't continue. The crowd was with him all the way, giving him a standing O as he left the stage ... clearly upset.

Elton later apologized,"I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia earlier today, but I was determined to give you the best show humanly possible. I played and sang my heart out, until my voice could sing no more. I'm disappointed, deeply upset and sorry. I gave it all I had."

So thankful you’re not pushing yourself, Mr. John. I had pneumonia 4x last year into this & you need to listen to your body. I’ve never had the chance to see you, but I know are too precious: true fans will understand. ❤️

A legend

What’s the difference between pneumonia and working pneumonia? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Ass bust opened 🤣

I am surprise he went on at all, poor guy.

But he's still standing (yeah yeah yeah)

Would the concert have continued if it was ' Running ' lol

This is sad...but this pictures look like he’s doing a dance

Sending Healing Prayers and Vibes 🙏❣️🙏 🕊️🌹☮️❤️🕉️

That shit is NO JOKE!! I don't know how he was able to even walk on stage, let alone try to SING🤦‍♂️

Did the people from the concert get their money back? He really should not have held this gig!

Rest up.

The granny of pop

That's nothing to mess with. I hope he recovers from it.

Are you sure it’s not the rocking pneumonia & the boogie woogie flu?

So he got Corona 🎉

Wonder if he was in Wuhan picking out new outfits....

And the woogie boigie flu.

I had pneumonia and I ended up hospitalized for almost 3 weeks! That’s painful and frustrating I don’t know how he was able to sing for 1.5 hours

So did he ask Bud Melman to fill in for him?

He should have asked for help. I’m sure there’s plenty of singers willing to step in for him.

Prayers sent. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Stay strong sir. You are a world treasure.

John Kelly's biggest slam wasn't even about Donald TrumpFormer White House chief of staff John Kelly got lots and lots of attention this week for expressing his support for Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's action. But, something else Kelly said was even more cutting — about Fox News | Analysis by CillizzaCNN CillizzaCNN Same goes for watching CNN or MSNBC watchers who don’t ever look elsewhere. This isnt the burn they think it is. If you don’t look outside your bubble, you’d think CNN has given you real news. Reality is, our media accross the board is flawed deeply. CillizzaCNN You’ll lift up anyone who turns or Trump or attacks Trump - like your past SUPERSTAR and projected presidential candidate...oh where is your hero now? CillizzaCNN Cilly boy.
