Elton John Shares Candid Update on Eyesight Loss After Infection

Elton John is sharing a candid update on his eyesight … revealing he’s still struggling to see months after suffering a severe infection that limited his vision.

Watch the video, the singer reveals he still cannot see out of his right eye … which is why he’s yet to release new music.

As Elton puts it … he hasn’t been able to properly see for 4 months, especially since his left eye already wasn’t “the greatest.”

However, EJ isn’t ruling out a comeback, as he says there’s been “hope and encouragement” that all will be well.

He adds … “But I am kind of stuck at the moment, because I can do something like this, but going into the studio and recording — I don’t know. Because I can’t see a lyric, for start. “

As he goes on, Elton says he is “taking an initiative” to sort out his eyesight … admitting the setback left him “floored.”

He continues … “I can’t see anything. I can’t read anything. I can’t watch anything.”

Nonetheless, Elton says he’s still the “luckiest man in the world,” sharing he has a lot to be proud of including … his beautiful sons, Zachary and Elijah.

Elton retired from touring back in 2023 after battling a number of health issues over the years … but defended his decision was a family one. Specifically, he didn’t want to miss out on Zachary and Elijah’s teenage years due to being on the road.
