Legendary musician Sir Elton John has disclosed a significant health setback, revealing that he has lost vision in his right eye due to a severe infection earlier this year. The 77-year-old artist shared the news during a charity gala premiere of his new musical, “The Devil Wears Prada,” in London. Addressing the audience, Elton remarked that his eyesight issues had prevented him from fully experiencing the show but praised its sound and energy.
This announcement follows an earlier update in September when Elton informed fans that the infection had left him with limited vision. He described the healing process as slow and acknowledged that recovery might take considerable time.
Despite this challenge, Elton remains optimistic and continues to engage with his musical projects. He expressed gratitude for the support of his husband, David Furnish, and his medical team, who have helped him navigate this difficult period.
Elton’s health struggles have added to a series of challenges in recent years, including hip surgery and a battle with prostate cancer. Friends and family have expressed concerns about his demanding schedule, urging him to focus on his well-being.
Fans around the world have rallied behind Elton, sending messages of love and encouragement as he faces these obstacles. His resilience and dedication to his craft continue to inspire, even as he manages ongoing health concerns.
