Elton John recovering from "potentially deadly bacterial infection"

British musician Elton John spent two nights in intensive care with a potentially deadly bacterial infection and has cancelled all his concerts for the rest of April and May.
    
John thanked his fans for an avalanche of kindness as he recovers from the infection he apparently got during a tour of South America.  
    
The 70 year old singer told his Instagram followers he was overwhelmed with gratitude and getting stronger every day.
    
John is expected to make a full recovery and will return to the stage in Twickenham, England, on June 3.
