Touring is killing me: Elton John

Singer Elton John believes touring is slowly killing him as he is always on the road and never has any time to spend with his family.
The 66-year-old 'Rocket Man' hitmaker is keen to cut down on the amount of concerts he does to spend more time with his husband David Furnish and their two children, Zachary, two, and seven-month-old son Elijah, reported Contactmusic.
"The time has come in my life when I will definitely cut back on shows so I have more time with my family. That's a conscious decision. I know I'm addicted to playing. I'm addicted to working. I'm addicted to touring. I'm addicted to everything," John said.

"I can't have one bunch of flowers. I can't do one show. That's part of my nature. But I sat down with David and said, 'You know, I'm fed up with it. The travelling is killing me. I can't do it any more. I've never taken enough time to smell the roses'," he added.
John was forced to cancel a number of his summer tour dates after being struck down with crippling appendicitis two months ago.
