Elton's concert in La Crosse on April 19, 2011 has been postponed.

La Crosse Center Director Art Fahey said the concert was postponed this afternoon when it became apparent weather conditions were not going to allow Elton John's plane to arrive there safely. The concert will be rescheduled for sometime in May.

"It was out of concern for the safety of people that were coming and his flight coming in from the East," Fahey said. So the bad news is that nobody is going to see Elton John perform. The good news is that anybody holding a ticket for the concert can hang onto that ticket and use it for the rescheduled concert.

Fahey said Elton John is famous for never canceling, but the weather took that decision away from him. "He does not cancel. He would be here if there was any way possible," Fahey said. "It's definitely this weather that did it."
