Elton John was scheduled to take the stage at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday night (Nov. 27). However, the concert has been canceled due to the singer’s ear infection.
The arena took to Twitter to announce the news, but encouraged concertgoers to “hold onto your tickets,” as the show will soon be rescheduled. The show was part of the icon’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road three-year tour, which kicked off Sept. 8 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

We understand your disappointment, Ashley. Elton John was in the building and the news was shared with us immediately prior to the PA announcement being made. Receipts and passes from Amway Center parking lots will be honored for the rescheduled Elton John date in Orlando.
