Elton reassures fans over health

SIR Elton John has told fans he is “in top health” after he was pictured in a wheelchair at Leipzig Airport in Germany.

The singer, 75, is currently on the road for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour which has so far seen him take to the stage in states across the US before he embarked on the European leg of the tour.

In a message on Instagram, he said: “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.”
