Elton John Makes Shocking Admission: He’s Lost His Eyesight
Elton John revealed the unfortunate news that he has lost his eyesight over the weekend while addressing a crowd at a charity event after the premiere of the new musical, “The Devil Wears Prada” at the Dominion Theatre in London, England. The legendary singer wrote the composition for the play based on the popular 2006 film about a young assistant trying to survive her treacherous boss at a fashion magazine.
During his speech, Elton told the audience that he was unable to watch many of the play’s previews because of his lost eyesight. He added, “It’s hard for me to see it, but I love to hear it and, boy, it sounded good tonight.”
You may recall that in September, Elton announced on Instagram that he had contracted an infection that resulted in “limited vision in one eye.” At the time, he said he was “healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.” Sadly, that never happened.
