Elton John postpones Dubai concert for the second time

The new date for his Dubai concert is December 8, 2017

British music legend Sir Elton John, CBE has cancelled his January 20 concert at Dubai's Autism Rocks Arena and rescheduled it for December 8, 2017. The reason for the change has been cited as health issues the artist has been suffering.
This is the second time the concert has been rescheduled as he was initially supposed to perform on January 20, 2016. The official announcement by the promoter 117Live reads, "Although not serious in nature, he has been advised by his doctors to schedule a medical procedure immediately. Elton apologises to his Middle East fans but with the prompt assistance of the promoter 117Live, we have managed to secure the new concert date of December 8, 2017."
Addressing the issue of refund for ticket holders, the announcement states, "For fans still wishing to attend the show, they should retain their current tickets (they will remain valid) for the new date. For ticket holders unable to attend the new show date, a full refund will be made available from the point of purchase-subject to the terms & conditions of the ticket distributor; you will receive an email from your provider with all details. Please allow the ticketing companies a few days to respond to inquiries on the exact refund details."
