Elton John was scheduled to perform last night with Billy Joel at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, but the concert was scrapped a few days ago because John was still battling an E. coli bacterial infection and the flu. 

Today, Gossip Cop checked in with both his rep and Joel’s spokeswoman, who told us that John is “feeling much better” and has “recovered.” 

So the question is, though he had to cancel a number of performances because of illness, including last night’s, will John still be at his Elton John AIDS Foundation’s “An Enduring Vision” event tomorrow night?

Good news. The musician’s rep confirmed to Gossip Cop that John will definitely be at the fundraiser in New York, which will be hosted by Anderson Cooper, and where President Bill Clinton and Sharon Stone are set to be honored.

Having recently postponed concerts in London and Dublin, Elton John has now had to push back a few more performances in the U.S., due to a battle with the flu and a “serious case of e-coli bacterial infection.”

John’s “Face 2 Face” concerts with Billy Joel, slated for November 2 (Seattle), November 7 (Seattle), and November 10 (Portland), are being put on hold for the time being, but will likely be rescheduled for December.

Although John was reportedly hospitalized, Gossip Cop hears he’s on the mend.

The “Face 2 Face” tour has already been plagued a bit. In July, concerts were postponed when Joel was told to rest after being diagnosed with “extreme fatigue” and “flu-like symptoms.”
