This June 30, 2012 photo shows British pop star Sir Elton John in Kiev, Ukraine.
Elton John says he is grateful to be alive after learning he had been playing European tour dates while suffering from undiagnosed appendicitis.
The 66-year-old musician is quoted in The Sun newspaper Wednesday as saying he had struggled through the shows in pain, thinking he had food poisoning.
