Elton John picked up a dangerous infection and was in intensive care

Touring life of the world celebrity is not so safe and comfortable, as it seems to many. The media reported that Elton John, who went on a tour of South America, was infected with a "potentially fatal infection".

Emergency hospitalization

As the representative of the legendary Elton John Fren Curtis told the press, the artist felt ill, returning to his native Britain after a concert in Chile on April 10, where he visited as part of his South African tour. The singer became ill on board a plane flying from Santiago, and British doctors placed him in the intensive care unit, where he spent two days.

According to the press secretary of the celebrity, doctors could not accurately diagnose the type of infection that the 70-year-old singer did not face, but she was definitely "unusual", "rare", "bacterial" and "potentially deadly." Fortunately, the doctors started the right treatment on time, Curtis summed up.

In turn, the journalists found out that it was an atypical bacterial infection.

Is on the mend

Now Elton John's life is not in danger. On April 22 (12 days after hospitalization) he left the hospital and undergoes further therapy at home under the supervision of qualified doctors, surrounded by the care of husband David Fernish and their children.
