Elton's performance comes after speculation that he is not doing well health-wise.
This comes after he was pictured in a wheelchair.
He has denied the claims that he isn't well.
"I want to thank all my fans for reaching out to ask about my health, after the tabloids ran a silly story about my “looking frail” in a wheelchair. The true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best," he wrote.
Elton is currently performing on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour which began in Allentown, Pennsylvania on 8 September 2018. The final tour has hundreds of concerts scheduled worldwide and features multiple A-listers.
He has thanked his fans for the great support he has been receiving.
