The singer Elton John was the victim of a domestic accident in the night from Sunday to Monday in his villa of Mont-Boron in Nice. Slightly injured, the 76-year-old Briton was transported by her husband David Furnish to the orthopedic department of the Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco, where he received preventive care.
According to information from Nice-Matin, Elton John underwent a brain and lumbar scan. More fear than harm, the results revealed no fracture. The interpreter of Im Still Standing was already back home in the early morning. "Elton went to the local hospitalas a precaution. After some check-ups, he is now back and in good health," his agent told the Daily Mail on August 28. The composer, pianist and actor was spending his holidays on the French Riviera with his husband and two children, a few weeks after the end of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour.
