Elton John Cancels Concert After Audience Already Arrived, And Fans Are Pissed
Elton John canceled a show in Orlando last night, half an hour after the show was scheduled to start and the audience was comfy in their seats.
“We’re sorry to announce that due to an ear infection, Elton John is unable to perform tonight,” Amway Center revealed in a statement on Twitter. They also announced it to the audience, explaining that it will be rescheduled in the near future.
“The rescheduled Orlando date will be announced in the near future so please hold onto your tickets,” they stated.
Some fans were outraged that they didn’t get the news until after they arrived.
Sir Elton John I think the way that your show was cancelled tonight in Orlando was pitiful! You let all your fans including me pay for parking, hotels, babysitters, drinks, merchandise then sit and wait for 25 min after it was to begin to cancel. Pitiful

Taken 5 minutes apart. Elton John’s #FarewellYellowBrickRoad show cancelled. We were all sitting and waiting for 1/2 hour. As someone who also went home from work early sick, I hope he feels better, but dang. pic.twitter.com/NANHz3GhRi

Aaaaand just like that, Elton John cancelled his concert tonight, due to an ear infection. Couldn’t we be notified before we entered, ate and sat down in the arena.
