Elton John cannot breathe

[BlackEyeBeatings]

this happened to him all the time in the late 70/80s.

He just did some cocaine and went back to performing!

[c1n9r6v3]

_Cannot breath??  ` Breath or breathe?_

[aromanov]

@c1n9r6v3 sorry

[Numba1FanOfMusic15]

i must admit, this scared me.

[TheScoccoFan]

@Numba1FanOfMusic15 me too :-(



[MissEltonJohn]

Ray Cooper is AWESOME! wow!

[kindlydude]

Man, the rhythms interfere w the natural rhythms of the heart... especially as you get older....this is the first generation to grow old w rock n roll...the music & volume & rhythm of my mother's generation of music(Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, etc., etc.) is looking & sounding better & better.... tho I'm a fan from way back.

[William6likes6Rock]

Kudos to the Drummer

[jaggass]

when he had the white shirt on why did he walk off?

[Durak1990max]

What song plays the end?

[aromanov]

@Durak1990max: Pinball Wizard.

[RolandRhodes1]

I love Ray Davis. I just love this guy

[alreltney]

@RolandRhodes1 It's Ray Cooper

[RolandRhodes1]

@alreltney

Ray Cooper ofcourse.

I recommend you to see Elton in Russia. Its a great video and Ray Cooper is awesome there

[eltonjohnish]

I agree with the medical post; however, since the pacemaker has been implanted, Elton seems to be doing very, very well with his health. It even seems that he has lost weight in recent years. Way to go Elton!

[reed77john]

Pobre elton, es un crack, un heroe de la musica.

[jaggass]

as we saw when when he went off stage had a white shirt this concert was recorded on tv. why did he walk off?

[bottledmagic]

hahah who is always there to take a video of stuff like this?

[aromanov]

@bottledmagic the one who makes a documentary, his husband

[thunderstruck665]

He eventually needed a pacemaker. Perhaps this was why.

[1caninelover]

@thunderstruck665 Could be, irregular hertbeat does give some the sensation of difficulty breathing. As a healthcare professional I fail to see the humour one poster found in this.

[Greekpeople1]

He is a musical hero...

[jaggass]

i thought he had a panic attack

[fuzzylandia]

I'm a critical care nurse and every time I watch this I want to put oxygen on him! LOL!!

Poor Elton...I can't believe how many years he went around like this before he finally got the pacemaker. He is such a workaholic it's probably impossible to make him see a doctor.!!!

[1caninelover]

@fuzzylandia Same here...surprised none of the medical staff slapped on an 02 mask!

[feroliv123]

Are two different concerts......the first probably in European step and the sencond looks like his concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

[duke123eltom123]

that is really strange firt white then black ande then white shirt again

[aromanov]

that was explained on DVD by David Furnish, they had to do that because the show where Elton's ill was not recorded for TV. so he had to edit it this way.

[duke123eltom123]

I dont understand

[aromanov]

there are two shows edited for this eposode.

[duke123eltom123]

really that is really funny

[YES4EJAF]

@duke123eltom123 not funny... its sad how person which works so hard and want to do a show cannot breath..its not funny

[duke123eltom123]

you have the wrong idee I meant with funny that these are 2 clips at one not about elton!

[YES4EJAF]

@duke123eltom123 then ok :))

[duke123eltom123]

so when elton walkes ofstage there is noting wrong with him in the white shirt

[aromanov]

yes, because the show where he's ill was not recorded, so the documentary director had to edit this way

[geitepung]

lol you shoudlve seen him when he played in norway, he was literally dressed as a penguin XD

[jaggass]

ray cooper would be brilliant playing in a football crowd.

[quirpco]

Wow...barely able to breathe and Elton still puts his audience first by finishing out the show. Thankfully he had the amazing Ray Cooper to back him up.

[shogunutralisk]

That's a true artist. I bet nobody from the audience sensed that it was something wrong with Elton.... He sang like nothing happened... what a pro:)

[forloveoffilm]

The poor dear is getting too old to sing.

[aromanov]

when he was 48? :)

[DMEAD123]

Ray Cooper did a great job taking over and entertaining the crowd !

[Mo19010100]

the scenes are not from the same show, in one he's wearing a white shirt in the other one he's wearing a white one...

[aromanov]

but it happened to him anyway.

[duke123eltom123]

@Mo19010100 maby elton chance his shirt to breave better

[Eltonizer]

Poor Elton, he works so hard. I know I wouldn't be able to put up with what he does anwyay.

[princev11]

@Eltonizer it was the city, rio is like denver the air is thinner.. i guess he wasnt used to it the first time there

[chenlung1]

The Pinball Wizard of this performance always gives me goosebumps :).

[lansche66]

God...pure Elton :(
