Concerns are growing for Elton John after he had to briefly leave his own concert – to vomit. About two hours into his Sunday concert in Brisbane, the `Rocketman’ singer left the stage without a word. When he returned, the 59-year-old pop star used an Australian colloquialism to explain that he had left the stage to vomit. “I thought I’d better chunder in the toilet rather than all over the front row,” he said. Apparently feeling better, Elton played on for a further 45 minutes before ending the show. [28 November 2006]
