Elton John had some fans worried on Friday after posting a photo on social media of himself in a hospital bed with glittering casts and a neck brace. Before you get too worried…the post was just to promote “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.” Fans flooded his comments with messages like “Have a safe recovery ❤️❤️” and “love and prayers,” seemingly thinking he was actually injured. They maybe should have checked his caption, however, as the music icon clarified the joke: “Rocked too hard…ended up in a cast! Backstage with Spinal Tap 🤘.” The sequel, arriving over 40 years after the original 1984 mockumentary, features John on two songs, including “Listen To The Flower People” and “Stonehenge.”
