BRISBANE, Australia — Elton John was struck by a bout of nausea during a concert in Australia and told the audience after briefly leaving the stage he'd gone to "chunder in the toilet,'' a news report said Monday.
John left the stage without a word about two hours into his first concert of an Australian tour in Brisbane and was gone for about five minutes, Australian Associated Press reported.
When he returned, John told the audience he left the stage to vomit, using an Australian colloquialism.
"I thought I'd better chunder in the toilet (rather) than all over the front row,'' AAP quoted him telling the audience.
John, apparently feeling better, closed the show about 45 minutes later.
John has been a regular visitor to Australia for decades and the current national tour is his 12th since 1971.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
