Elton John Reveals ‘He Can’t See Anything’ From Right Eye Due To Serious Infection

November 26, 2024: Elton John recently revealed that he lost vision in his right eye due to a severe eye infection he contracted while spending the summer in the south of France.

Speaking candidly about the impact, he shared that the experience “kind of floored” him, as he struggled with significant vision loss. He explained that he couldn’t read or watch anything, and noted that even his left eye is “not the greatest,” which has further affected his ability to read lyrics or engage in his usual activities.

In September, John shared a heartfelt update on his recovery, describing the process as “extremely slow.” While the infection began earlier in the year, it wasn’t until summer that it severely impacted his vision. He conveyed that he’s in the process of healing, but it will take some time before his sight fully returns. Despite the challenges, he expressed gratitude for the support from his medical team and family, emphasizing how positive he remains about his recovery.

Elton also touched on his music career, mentioning that he’s currently “stuck” in terms of recording his new album, though he remains hopeful. His health struggles haven’t dampened his positive outlook, and he continues to express deep gratitude for the life he has and the people around him.

His health update resonated with fans and fellow celebrities, who have been sending messages of support. Fashion icon Donatella Versace, singer Natalie Imbruglia, and actors Billy Porter and Hannah Waddingham are among those who have shared their well-wishes for the legendary musician. Despite his health issues, Elton John remains optimistic, expressing, “I’m the luckiest man in the world,” and continues to inspire with his resilience.

Elton John is also the subject of a new documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, which highlights his extraordinary life and career. Through all of his health challenges, he has maintained a sense of gratitude and positivity, reaffirming how fortunate he feels.
