Elizabeth Hurley gave an update on Elton John’s condition when she said he was doing well and would be out of hospital in a few days.

Sir Elton has been hospitalised at a private London facility for E.coli and influenza, it emerged at the weekend. He cancelled a string of shows and his civil spouse David Furnish indicated he would be home in a matter of days.

However, there has been no update on his condition or report of his discharge. Hurley early this week said: “He’s great, I spoke to David Furnish, his partner, today, and he’s doing great. I think he’ll be out of hospital in a few days.”

Hurley regards Sir Elton as one of her best friends. The superstar gave her away at her wedding to businessman Arun Nayar in 2007. But she said of learning of his illness: “I’ve been worried sick, but he’s absolutely fine, he’s as strong as an ox and fighting everything off. Everyone loves him and he’s one of my best friends in the world.”

Sir Elton postponed shows in England, Ireland, Seattle and Portland. A message posted to his website reads: “All patrons who have purchased tickets for the Face 2 Face concerts on Wednesday, November 4th, and Saturday, November 7th at the Key Arena, Seattle and on Tuesday, November 10th at Rose Garden Arena, Portland are being asked to hold on to their tickets until more information is available regarding the proposed rescheduled engagement … Organisers of the events are working to establish new dates.”
