Elton John <\/a>has sparked concern from fans after posting a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed with a neck brace.<\/p>\n

The music icon<\/a>, 78, left some worried this week when sharing a snap<\/a> that initially appeared to show him in ill health.<\/p>\n

However, it quickly became clear he was actually fine \u2013 despite many people initially suspecting the worst.<\/p>\n

The photo showed Sir Elton looking at the camera while in the bed, with both of his legs in silver glitter casts.<\/p>\n

In front of him was also a table full of flowers and cards \u2013 while his husband David Furnish could be seen speaking to a woman in the background.<\/p>\n

Despite many having to do a double take, the caption reassured fans the legendary performer was just fine.<\/p>\n
