Elton John Eye Infection Halts Music Production

Sir Elton John, 77, has revealed that he lost sight in his right eye due to an infection contracted in the South of France over the summer, leaving him unable to see, read, or watch anything. Despite having limited vision in his left eye as well, he remains hopeful for recovery but is currently unable to work on new music. Elton expressed that the situation has 'floored' him, yet he maintains a positive outlook by focusing on his family and upcoming projects, including a Disney+ documentary titled 'Elton John: Never Too Late'. He conveyed gratitude for his life, calling himself 'the luckiest man in the world' and praised his ability to endure challenges. He is actively seeking treatment for his vision, which he discussed in interviews with Good Morning America and ABC News, and on his Instagram account. The documentary, directed by R.J. Cutler and his husband David Furnish, will explore his career and personal journey.
