No Rock And Roll Fun

JOHN PULLED OUT: The reasons haven't been confirmed, but some sort of illness led Elton John to cancel two US gigs this weekend. We don't know what it was - might be nodules of the vocal chords, maybe it was just the wrong sort of orchids. Who can say?

Meanwhile, Kenny Chesney did his ankle in on a staircase and axed his own opening weekend:

"I know the fans in Green Bay, Fargo and St Paul are gonna be disappointed," Chesney said in a statement on his website. "But they're not half as disappointed as I am about not being there."

Fargo and St Paul were not available for comment, but Green Bay said it was bearing up, and would probably "have some beers, go bowling" instead. "Actually, it was Ashwaubenon who was really keen to go see him; we were only doing it as a favour..."
