It has been announced that Elton will step in to replace George Michael as the official opening act at Perth Arena after the 'Freedom' hitmaker cancelled his Australian tour dates to receive treatment for "post-traumatic stress disorder" following his near-fatal bout of pneumonia last year.

Elton was already scheduled to perform in Perth on November 12, 2012, but will also take over the venue on November 10, 2012, the date George was meant to be on stage.

Ticket holders to George's show are able to use their tickets to see Elton instead, or obtain a refund.
