Elton John Postpones Summer Tour Due to Appendicitis.


A reliable source close to Sir Elton John has confirmed the singer is suffering from appendicitis.
The multi-award-winning artist had called in doctors after falling ill during his recent European tour. Following a number of exploratory scans and blood tests with his medical team in the UK, a diagnosis of appendix abscess surrounding retrocaecal appendicitis has been confirmed.

Sir Elton is currently undergoing a course of intensive antibiotics and is expected to undergo surgery in the UK in the coming weeks, once doctors can be confident they have sufficiently reduced toxins within the inflamed appendicitis site.
Sir Elton, 66, who regularly performs in excess of 120 concerts per year, has been advised by his doctors and surgical team to postpone all forthcoming shows from his current European tour (this includes the headline show due to take place at Hyde Park in London as part of the Barclaycard British Summer Time Festival this coming Friday).
The source confirmed Sir Elton will not return to touring until he has fully recovered from both the planned surgery and any damage caused by the appendix abscess. He added, "Elton is incredibly disappointed to postpone these tour dates. To know that he made such super-human efforts and continued to perform to thousands through his illness only confirms his dedication to his European fans. He is eager to be back on top form and return to play the remaining shows starting in early September 2013."
Ticket-holders for the BST Hyde Park show this Friday, July 12, are however assured of refunds.

''Give me a man, with whom I will serve You...'' A legendary love story

Bonjour,  I am tearing up listening to Mama Gloria Bamiloye saying something about her husband, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye. They inspired me to write this. Most of my posts so far has been on praying about your marriage and making God the centre of it.  To the singles out there, have you ever thought of communicating with God about your future partner?  Do you have expectations(specs) of whom you would like to share the rest of your life with?  Go to God in prayer and ask Him to give you what you want. The best part of God anwering your prayer is Him giving you what is actually Best for you. He knows what you need but He needs you to ask for it.  Now to today's topic; Marriage can actually take you to hell; either here on earth or after you are dead! That is why I have my slogan of, ''it is not here that matters, but in the end, before my creator" . This phrase (title for today), from Mama Gloria, shook me. It made me think back to what I had prayed ...
