Drops 40 hs. but loctors still worry he's in BIG danger

JUMBO Elton John has dropped 40 pounds from his belt-bustin’ bod — and doctors say losing the extra ballast will keep him afloat and likely save his life!

Sources say the wobbly Rocket Man soared to well over 200 pounds on his otherwise Tiny Dancer frame of 5-foot-8 and was warned to bag the bulge if he wanted to head off a host of health ailments related to his high living.
