Music news

Elton John has revealed that the severe eye infection has affected his vision in one eye.

Elton John suffered from a ” severe » eye infection over the summer. The singer-songwriter took to Instagram, revealing to his fans that the infection was so severe that it limited his vision in one eye. I am healing, but it is an extremely slow process and it will take time before sight returns in the affected eye. ” he said.

He added: “ I am very grateful to the excellent team of doctors and nurses, and to my family, who have taken such good care of me over the past few weeks. I have spent the summer quietly recuperating at home, and am pleased with the progress I have made so far in my healing and recovery. »

The legendary singer underwent knee surgery in January, causing him to miss his EGOT-winning celebration after his Disney+ show Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium won an Emmy. Over the summer, he assisted U.S. President Joe Biden at the opening of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center in New York.

He will end 2024 with the Disney+ bio-documentary Elton John: Never Too Late, directed by RJ Cutler (who made the excellent Billie Eilish documentary, The World's a Little Blurry) and her husband, David Furnish. The film is set to premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
