Elton John, 77, revealed on social media that he has been grappling with an eye infection that has impacted his vision.
“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” the EGOT winner shared in a statement on Instagram. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.”
Over the past several years, the “Benny and the Jets” singer has experienced some trouble with his health.
Last year, John slipped at his villa in Nice, France, and visited a local hospital as a precaution but was able to recover at home and was “in good health."
In 2022, fans became worried when tabloids reported that the “Rocket Man” star was using wheelchair. He responded on Instagram to explain why he needed a wheelchair during his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, which ended in July 2023.
