Elton John has been open about his health struggles over the past few years, including a recent battle with an intense eye infection that severely affected his vision. The music legend has lost his sight, he revealed onstage during the premiere of West End debut of the Devil Wears Prada musical in London.
John had initially experienced limited vision in one eye due to a “severe” eye infection in September, which he contracted while spending time in France. He described the recovery process as an “extremely slow” one and expressed gratitude for his medical team’s care.
Since then, John has been keeping the public updated about his health struggles through social media posts. In recent weeks, he had joked about his declining physical appearance, saying that there’s not much of him left. However, despite the challenges, John remains optimistic about recovering his vision and returning to normal activities, including music.
In a recent interview, John stated that he has “hope” for a full recovery and is eager to get back into the studio to work on new music. Despite losing his sight, John’s love for his music lives on, as evident from his enthusiastic reaction to hearing the musical performance.
