I read over the weekend about the problems that Elton John is having with his eyesight. We at The Eagle wish the best for a quick recovery and pray for Elton!
Back in September, Elton John revealed that he lost vision in one of his eyes.
“I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the south of France,” he said. “And it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. And my left eye’s not the greatest.”
Elton said “there’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK,” but he really hasn’t been able to work on music. “I’m kinda stuck in the moment ... going into the studio and recording, I don’t know, because I can’t see a lyric, for start.”
“We’re taking an initiative to try and make it better, but at the moment that’s what we’re really concentrating on,” he said. “And it kinda floored me, and I can’t see anything, I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.”
But even with all the challenges he’s faced, Elton, whose new documentary Never Too Late debuts Dec. 13 on Disney+, still seems to have a positive attitude.
