In full promotion of the documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late” expected on December 13 on Disney+, the British singer gave some less than reassuring news concerning his vision problems, after a severe eye infection.
Lots of frustration. Guest of the show Good Morning America on the American channel ABC for the promotion of the documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late” expected on December 13 on Disney +, Elton John did not hide his disappointment regarding the evolution of his eyesight which was severely affected after a serious eye infection that occurred several weeks ago.
The British singer says he can no longer see out of his right eye since his infection last July during a stay in the south of France, and that the left eye “has never been the best.” If he remains hopeful that the situation will evolve positively, he explains “being stuck at the moment, because I can do things like that (the interview, editor's note), but going to the studio and recording, I don't I'm not sure. Because I can't read words.
Elton John explains that he has tried to take initiatives to improve his eyesight, but that nothing is working at the moment, knowing that the healing process can be extremely slow. “It devastated me because I can’t read anything, watch anything,” he says. The 77-year-old musician, however, wanted to end the interview on a positive note, assuring that he felt like “the luckiest man in the world”, that he was proud of his two sons, Zachary and Elijah , and of himself in the face of this complicated situation.
Elton John ended his tours in 2023 after several health concerns in recent years. However, he explained that his decision was motivated primarily by his desire to spend more time with his family, in particular his two children who are now teenagers, as well as his husband, David Furnish, who is the co-director of the documentary ” Elton John: Never Too Late.
