ETOnline.com reports that Elton John is recovering at home after suffering from "a serious respiratory infection" that forced him to cancel several of his upcoming Las Vegas performances.

A spokesman told ET on May 25, 2012 that he is currently "at home and doing well" after being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on May 23, 2012. A spokeswoman for The Colosseum at Caesars Palace told reporters that the singer was advised by doctors to "suspend his "Million Dollar Piano" show performances for at least the next seven days to focus on getting adequate rest while he is treated with antibiotics."

Expressing his regret to his fans, Elton tweeted a message on May 25, 2012 saying, "I love performing this show and I will be thrilled when we return to The Colosseum in October to complete the eleven concerts soon to be scheduled. All I can say to the fans is sorry I can't be with you. I hope to see you soon at this wonderful theatre at Caesars Palace."
