translated from Spanish: [VIDEO] Elton John loses his voice and tears a concert in half in New Zealand

Atypical pneumonia was the diagnosis that ended up forcing the cancellation to nearly half of a concert in New Zealand, causing great concern among fans and close by iconic singer Elton John. He underwent just over half of the songs he had scheduled for the evening, with a total of 25 songs, when he had to stop the presentation as a result of the loss of his voice. The event shocked Elton John himself, who with tears in his eyes apologized, assuming he had health problems and that, although he tried to sing regardless of his atypical pneumonia, he had been stronger than him. Through his Instagram account the singer wrote a message in which he claimed to be disappointed and grieved by the way he had to finish his concert.” I want to thank everyone who came to tonight’s concert in Auckland. A few hours earlier I had been diagnosed with atypical pneumonia, but I was determined to offer them the best show humanly possible. I played and sang with all my heart until my voice could not hold. I am disappointed, deeply upset and sorry,” the singer wrote. Here the record of the moment during the concert:
