spectators disappointed to have spent for nothing
The promise of a new date has not prevented the fans of the singer to express their disappointment on social networks. A lot of people regret having spent the money for nothing, parking, goodies, food, drinks, or even in a hotel room for the fans not living in Orlando. They complain of not having been warned earlier on the grounds that the artist was necessarily suffering for several hours. After the concert, Elton John has warned at the last moment the organizers that it could not guarantee the show.
Are you going to refund us gold provide gift cards/ credit for all we spent on parking, merchandise, food, and drinks in the 2 hours you left the doors open with this information?! So disgusted with the way Amway Center handled this

The star won’t be singing no more Thursday night in Tampa, Florida. It is well possible that other dates are cancelled: Elton John has a «take a few days of rest to eliminate the infection». But promises to be back on stage «as soon as possible».
