Elton John almost becomes the latest dead rock star.

Elton John recovering from 'rare and potentially deadly' infection contracted in South America

Elton John contracted "a harmful and unusual" bacterial infection during his recent South American tour and, after an extended hospital stay that included two nights in intensive care, has canceled all of his shows scheduled for April and May.

"During his return flight home from Santiago, Chile, he became violently ill," his reps said Monday in a statement. "Upon returning to the UK, Elton's Doctors admitted him to hospital, where he underwent immediate treatment to remove the infection."

John was discharged on Saturday and, on doctor's orders, is resting at home. He's expected to make a full recovery.

Stern related because:

1. Sir Elton was a guest on THSS when it was still fun & funny
2. Sir Elton also wears a wig.

Older rock stars are dropping like flies. I heard Funeral for a Friend yesterday on the radio.

I worked with someone that the same thing happened to. He was in India on business and contracted some kind of infection and became violently ill on the flight home. They wanted to stop and take him to a hospital somewhere like Germany and he refused, wanting to make it back to the US for medical care. It almost killed him. He said that in hindsight, he should have gone to the German hospital.
