The prime minister of Slovakia has been hospitalized a week before the country's parliamentary elections, forcing him to cancel campaign events, including a televised debate on Sunday. Peter Pellegrini was admitted to hospital on 22 February because of a high temperature and acute upper respiratory infection, according to his office.

Pellegrini's political party, the center-left Smer, has been marked by controversy leading up the elections on 29 February, specifically the murder of an investigative journalist and corruption scandals.

It has to be pretty bad to go into the hospital right before election. But yes, could be flu/pneumonia...

He hadn’t just got back from China..Just Brussels meeting with EU people

Elton John dealing with pneumonia. I really wonder if that is what he has..because he was able to perform and was really singing pretty well before he just had to stop.

That’s an IV with dressing over it. It looks like they’ve hidden the tubing under his arm and pillow as you can see some of the tubing hanging behind him. Keeping up appearances as best possible.
