ROCK STAR ELTON SERENADES HAMSTER
Rock superstar Elton Ben paid a flying visit to Traubert’s Heath on Tuesday to sing for a very special patient.
Elton, breaking into preparations for a major UK tour, came to visit Artemis the hamster, who remains in a critical condition after a crossbow bolt was removed from his temple.
Artemis’ owner, Lance Periwinkle of Swindler’s Lane, emailed the superstar asking for help after the callous attack which left the rodent in a coma.
“I emailed Elton’s publishing company telling them of Artemis’ condition and how he had always been a great fan of Elton’s music,” said Mr Perriwinkle.
“The next thing I know, I’d got a personal reply from the great man himself, promising to come and play a cageside concert for Artemis.”
The superstar, accompanying himself on a comb wrapped with tissue paper, played a medley of his hits, including Jenny And The Bets, Don’t Let My Mum Go Down On Me and his moving tribute to one of the all-time great composers, Handel With The Wind.
“Elton was very courteous and very concerned about Artemis,” said Mr Periwinkle, “we can only hope that hearing Elton’s wonderful music has somehow registered in the depths of Artemis’ subconscious.”
