Elton John has opened up to Variety in a cover story about life and music after going blind in his right eye in 2024.
“It’s been devastating,” the singer, 78, said. “Because I lost my right eye and my left eye’s not so good, the last 15 months have been challenging for me because I haven’t been able to see anything, watch anything, read anything."
John contracted an eye infection in both eyes while in France in the summer of 2024, yet the famous singer continues to stay positive. “I’ve just gotta be patient that someday science will help me with this one. Once they help me with this one, I’ll be fine."
Even with this health challenge, John is thankful for playing, singing, and the support of his family and friends.
