Elton John’s Eye-Opening Health Update: Losing Sight But Not Spirit!
Elton John made a surprising health admission at the theatre, revealing he’s lost his eyesight and had to leave a showing of *The Devil Wears Prada* early, assisted by husband David Furnish. He discussed the impact of a recent eye infection and expressed gratitude for his medical team while making adjustments in his diet due to diabetes, sharing a wish for a dessert-filled last meal.
Elton John recently had a rather eye-opening experience at a London theatre where he caught the production of The Devil Wears Prada— and not much else! Unfortunately, he had to exit early due to vision issues, assisted by husband David Furnish, who probably had to stop him from bumping into the lamp post outside.The beloved musician made the candid revelation: “I’ve lost my eyesight and cannot see the stage.” Ah, the glamorous life of the rich and famous! Right?
During the show, Elton shared his struggles openly with the audience: “As some of you may know I have had issues and now I have lost my sight. I haven’t been able to see the performance but I have enjoyed it. To my husband who’s been my rock because I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews… it’s hard for me to see it but I love to hear it and it sounded good tonight OK. Thank you for coming!” It takes a true star to shine even when the lights are a bit dim!
Earlier this year, an eye infection diagnosed in the sun-soaked South of France brought his music projects to a halt. Elton lamented, “Unfortunately, I lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the south of France and it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see.” Talk about a vacation gone wrong! Hopefully, he brought back a nice souvenir aside from the visual impairment, right?
Despite the challenges, Elton expressed hopefulness about his recovery on social media, even sharing updates about his new album plans with his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. “Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” he shared, sounding less like a pop star and more like a patient in a waiting room.
The singer, who’s had his share of health bumps—including a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis—has made significant lifestyle changes, especially regarding his diet. “I can have an apple, I can eat a bit of melon,” he said. His sweet tooth mourns, lamenting how he can’t enjoy ice cream anymore. Still, if he were on death row, he’d indulge in every sweet treat imaginable. “If I had a death row meal, it wouldn’t contain anything except sweets, because I can’t eat them now!”
Elton John’s recent health struggles have made headlines, especially after a serious eye infection affected his vision and halted his music career. Known for his flamboyant performances and heartfelt music, this candid admission about his eyesight loss reveals a more vulnerable side to the legendary entertainer. John, who has navigated various health issues, including Type 2 diabetes, is known for his resilience and positive attitude, even while facing challenges in his personal and professional life.
Elton John’s recent admission about losing his eyesight underscores the unexpected challenges that even the most glamorous celebrities can face. Sharing his journey publicly, he has not only shed light on the struggles of health issues but also offered a glimpse into his life, filled with love and support from those around him, particularly his husband, David Furnish. With hope and humour, Elton continues to inspire, reminding us all that even in the darkest times, there’s a reason to keep singing.
