In the past year, Paula Abdul, Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Garner, Audrina Patridge, Orlando Bloom and Lindsay Lohan have all been chased by stalkers!
Now to Elton John.
From the AP –
A Georgia man who posted a video of himself on the Internet holding a sign that said “Elton John must die” has been arrested for making terroristic threats.
Neal Horsley, 65, was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, about 50 miles west of Atlanta, said Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport. He would not say who Horsley is accused of threatening, but Horsley’s son, Nathan, said he thought the arrest was connected to the video about the musician.
AP = Elton John’s partner says the musician was devastated that he wasn’t allowed to adopt an HIV-positive Ukrainian toddler, but plans to support the boy anyway.
The 62-year-old pop star met 14-month-old Lev at a home for HIV-positive children in September. But he was refused permission to adopt the boy because he was too old and not married.
John’s partner David Furnish said Tuesday the couple was “massively gutted” by the rejection.
Furnish told BBC radio they were working to ensure Lev and his brother “have the best health care, education and family options available to them.”
John and Furnish tied the knot in 2005 in a civil union in Britain. Ukrainian authorities do not recognize gay unions as marriage.
Furnish said the couple would campaign for a change in Ukrainian law.
PEOPLE – It’s back to the Yellow Brick Road for Elton John – who left the hospital early Thursday after illness had forced him to cancel a series of concerts.
The singer, 62, was treated at a hospital last weekend in London after suffering from flu and a “serious case” of e. coli bacterial infection, his Web site said.
His spokesman Gary Farrow tells PEOPLE the singer is now “fine.”
The hitmaker (I’m Still Standing, Rocket Man) will resume his concert schedule in Oakland and San Jose, Calif., where he will join Billy Joel on Nov. 14 and 17.
Sir Elton John has been forced to postpone three concerts in the US this month because of ill-health.
A statement on his official website said the 62-year-old singer had a “serious case” of E.coli bacterial infection and influenza.
It added that his doctor had advised him to pull out of the gigs in Seattle and Portland. The move comes after he cancelled several UK dates in October.
His spokesman said on Sunday: “He has flu and is absolutely fine.”
Sir Elton postponed a Dublin concert on Thursday after shelving gigs in London, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle.
He is reportedly being treated at a hospital in central London.
Promoters say they are hoping to reschedule the European dates – part of his Red Piano tour – for December.
Details of plans to reschedule the US concerts, on 4 and 7 November at Seattle’s Key Arena and 10 November at Rose Garden Arena, Portland, are yet to be announced.
He had been due to perform alongside Billy Joel, whose own sickness forced the pair to cancel several joint performances in the US in July.
Joel was told to rest after coming down with “flu-like symptoms” and “extreme fatigue”.
Sir Elton and Joel had been touring together for two months under the banner Face 2 Face, selling out arenas across the US.
