Elton John Reveals Loss of Eyesight

Elton John has revealed that he has lost his eyesight due to a severe eye infection he contracted last summer, which has significantly affected his ability to see, including watching his new musical, The Devil Wears Prada. During a recent gala performance, he expressed his gratitude for the support of his husband, David Furnish, and acknowledged the difficulty of attending previews due to his condition. John stated, 'I love to hear it and, boy, it sounded good tonight,' emphasizing his enjoyment of the music despite his inability to see the performance. In September, he had shared on Instagram that his vision was limited in one eye and recovery would be slow. The gala, which served as a fundraiser for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, attracted numerous celebrities, showcasing the ongoing support for John's artistic endeavors amidst his health challenges. Elton's health issues have also impacted his work on a new album, reflecting the broader implications of his eyesight loss on his career.
