Elton John was recently photographed in a wheelchair.
Media headlines went wild claiming he looked “frail” and not in good health.
Earlier this week, the singer was photographed in a Gucci tracksuit, a face mask and being pushed in a wheelchair.
He is set to perform at the Queen’s Jubilee celebration in a pre-recorded performance.
“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,” he wrote.
He continued, “The true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best.”
The reason for the wheelchair was simple.
He had just performed for 2.5 hours, had to walk a very long way to get to the plane, so his team got him the wheelchair to rest his hip.
Elton concluded, “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.”
