Elton
John's European tour canceled

Elton John's five-city Red Piano tour through Europe has been canceled after a promoter told the press he could not "guarantee to put the shows on." The tour, originally slated to take place in Venice, Berlin, Moscow, Paris, and Seville, was to play through the summer. The promoter said there is a possibility of rescheduling the canceled appearances.

The Red Piano Tour, separate from other tours for John, was created from his regular appearances at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. More than a dozen separate performances by Elton John and his band, including other summer dates in the United Kingdom, will still take place, the BBC reports. (The Advocate)
