London - British singer Elton John has been released from hospital and is feeling "fine" after suffering a severe case of flu and a bacterial infection, his spokesman said Friday. He said the 62-year-old singer was released late Wednesday from a private clinic in London to which he had been admitted last weekend.
"He's fine, absolutely fine," the spokesman said, according to the Press Association.
He said Sir Elton planned to play as scheduled on his forthcoming US tour with Billy Joel, starting in Oakland, California, on November 14.
The singer had earlier postponed gigs in several cities in Britain and Ireland which will be rescheduled.
