Elton John reveals he has lost his eyesight due to infection

In a recent emotional appearance, musician Sir Elton John revealed serious health issues regarding his eyesight during the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. Accompanied by his husband David Furnish, Elton shared with fans that he has lost his eyesight, stating, 'I've lost my eyesight and cannot see the stage.' This admission comes after he previously disclosed in July that an infection while in the South of France had already cost him vision in his right eye. Now four months later, he struggles with limited vision in his left eye as well. The singer expressed his gratitude to his husband David Furnish, who has been a tremendous support during this challenging period. He noted, 'I haven't been able to come to many of the previews', indicating how his condition has impacted his ability to attend public events. Elton took a moment to thank attendees for coming, saying, 'It’s hard for me to see it but I love to hear it, and it sounded good tonight OK.' Elton John has been open about the journey he has endured since the infection. He took to social media in September, confirming that his recovery has been slow but he is receiving outstanding care from a dedicated medical team. He mentioned that while he is healing, the process is taking time and he still has limited vision. The impact of his condition has affected his daily life significantly and has limited his ability to engage in activities that he previously enjoyed, such as reading and watching performances. Looking ahead, Elton remains hopeful about the future of his recovery. He continues to express positive feelings about the progress he's made, attributing his strength to the support from family and friends. However, the gravity of his situation leaves uncertainty as to how this will affect his career and public performances in the immediate future.
