Organization of Elton Johns concert in Yekaterinburg turned to be troublesome for the citys concert agency.

      The singer and songwriter was expected to tour in Yekaterinburg in the summer of 2013, but in connection with the concert shift due to the musicians disease the agency faced serious problems. As the agencys website reports, it caused severe financial losses, which resulted in complications for the agencys further work as a whole.

      We have taken a hard but compelled and crucial decision. We will resume our activity only after we hold Elton Johns concert in Yekaterinburg as promised by us. Present we are continuously negotiating with Elton John's administration. His agent Mr. Bradley confirms that Yekaterinburg will be definitely included in Elton John's tour schedule for 2014. We hope that our dear audience and partners will understand this situation and we shall all together be waiting for the return of our agency to concert venues of Yekaterinburg - the concert agency director Roman Abrazheev comments.

      The concert in Yekaterinburg was scheduled for July 13, but shortly before it the singer diagnosed with appendicitis found himself at hospital. In August, upon the surgery Elton John commenced his large-scale tour.
