Elton John says he’s still standing — literally — after fans worried about his health after The Daily Mail published a photo of him being wheeled through a German airport last week.
In an Instagram post Sir Elton wrote, “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.
“The true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best….[Last week] 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.”
