Elton, 72, said: “I’m incredibly disappointed to have to reschedule my remaining Auckland dates and I want to send my sincerest apologies to my amazing fans for any inconvenience caused.
“I always want to be able to give 100 percent and I’m afraid that, right now, I’m not able to do that.
“I am grateful for the love and loyalty I have been shown by all of you and I can’t wait to return in January next year to perform my final New Zealand shows.”

The new comes just days after Elton left the stage in tears due to his health.
The Rocketman singer was only able to manage half of his Auckland gig before calling it quits.
The emotional icon managed to tell the sell-out crowd “my voice has completely gone, I’m so sorry,” before being helped off stage.
