Elton John says he's in 'top health' despite being seen in wheelchair

Legendary English singer Elton John said he is in top health ahead of his Platinum Jubilee concert performance. The 75-year-old 'Rocketman' singer came out with the assurance after pictures of him being wheeled by a chaperone as he arrived at Leipzig Airport on Sunday, May 29 on the way back to his home in Nice on the Cote d'Azur, spread with The Sun running an article that referred to him as "frail", reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I want to thank all my fans for reaching out to ask about my health, after the tabloids ran a silly story about my 'looking frail' in a wheelchair," John said in a long post on his Instagram feed.

"The true story is that I'm in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best."

"I give 100 percent every night and never want to disappoint, especially after everyone has waited so long to get back to seeing shows," he went on explaining.

"Your response to every show has been phenomenal and I'm loving every minute of it."

The images that showed Gucci tracksuit-clad John climbing out of a car and into a wheelchair were taken after he had performed two shows in Frankfurt and Leipzig on his long-running 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' tour.

He added in his Instagram message: "After another rousing 2.5 hour show, we arrived at Leipzig airport just before curfew, to find part of the airport had closed."

"It was an extremely long walk to get to the plane, so my team kindly laid on a wheelchair so I could rest my hip after doing the show. That's all folks," he continued.

"Last night was another blockbuster show in Bern and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at this weekend's sold-out show in Milan. Thanks for all your kind words of support! Love, Elton xx." (IANS)
