Several French newspapers and magazines keep reporting that Elton has been hospitalized in Monaco on July 29, 2015.

He is said to have spent one full week at the Princess Grace Hospital. These unconfirmed sources also report that he has been back for one additional check on August 7, 2015.

Closer magazine originally reported that Elton was totally drunk when he arrived in the hospital on July 29, 2015, but has now slightly changed the version to "after a troubled party".

Other papers like Var Matin and Monaco Matin talk about a "small trouble, with no link to what is reported by the magazines".

What's striking is the fact that we haven't seen the typical Cote Azur paparazzi photos from Elton's and David's vacation with the kids this year. On the other hand, Hercules has heard reports about Elton performing a private show on August 1, 2015.

The fact that only French sources report about this story is also slightly puzzling. We have yet to receive official confirmation from Elton's management. Today (August 8, 2015) Elton and the band are supposed to perform in Lake Tahoe, NV.
