Sir Elton John apologises to fans after illness forces Auckland show to be cut short 'Deeply upset and sorry'

Sir Elton John has apologised to fans at last night's Auckland show after he was taken off stage with walking pneumonia before his concert ended.

The music legend had mentioned at the start of his show that he had been diagnosed with "walking pneumonia" with fans reporting that at one point he had slumped into his chair before medical personnel checked on him.

The star gave it a couple more goes stopping and starting before telling the crowd he completely lost his voice and he is so sorry.

He was then escorted from stage.

In an emotional post shared to Instagram, Sir Elton John apologised to fans.
