Sir Elton John recently revealed that he has been struggling with his eyesight after experiencing a serious eye infection. This condition has made it difficult for him to fully engage with his new musical, “The Devil Wears Prada.”
During a recent performance of the show in London, Elton took a moment to express his gratitude towards his husband, David Furnish, acknowledging him as his strong support during these challenging times. He shared his struggles with vision, stating, “I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews… it’s hard for me to see it. But I love to hear it, and boy, it sounded good tonight.”
In an interview with “Good Morning America,” Elton elaborated on the impact this vision loss has had on his ability to work. He explained that he lost sight in his right eye due to the infection and has been experiencing difficulties in his left eye as well. Despite the setback, he remains hopeful for recovery, although he has faced challenges in navigating his artistic process without the ability to see lyrics clearly.
Elton first addressed his eye issues back in September, noting that he was dealing with significant vision loss in one eye. He expressed appreciation for the dedicated medical professionals and family members who have supported him through this tough period, mentioning that while he is in recovery, the process is slow.
He concluded by sharing his positive outlook on the progress he has made during his recuperation at home, emphasizing his determination to heal and return to performing at his best.
As he continues this journey, Sir Elton John’s resilience and commitment to his craft shine through, reminding us all of the importance of support and optimism in overcoming life’s challenges.
