MLB Twitter divided after legendary singer Elton John cancels Minute Maid Park concert in November with Houston Astros advancing in playoffs

Houston Astros officials announced on Monday that music icon Elton John’s concert on November 4 has been canceled and won’t be rescheduled. The highly-anticipated show was part of John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” goodbye tour.

A potential World Series run has squashed any chances of the most anticipated shows at Minute Maid Park as Houston beat the Seattle Mariners on Saturday with an extra-innings win.

A statement from the team's website read that Game 6 would be scheduled for the same day as the concert if the Houston-based outfit were to make it to the World Series.

The city of Houston is upset, understandably so, and here are a few of the best tweets from fans on Twitter post the announcement.

While the opinion seems divided, you can rest assured a majority is missing out on what could've been a fitting farewell to the city of Houston.
