Elton John reveals that he is blind in his right eye |

Elton John sat down with Good Morning America this morning, and he gave them a health update. Back in July, the singer suffered an infection in his right eye, and it has affected his eyesight.
Elton told Robin Roberts, “It’s been a while since I’ve done anything. I just have to get off my backside. I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the south of France.
“It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. And my left eye is not the greatest. So there’s hope and encouragement that it will be okay, but I’m kind of stuck at the moment.”
Because he lost eyesight in his good eye, he cannot read anything, including music. Therefore, he does not plan on going into the studio until he regains his eyesight. He added, “We’re taking an initiative to try and get it better, but at the moment, that’s really what we’re concentrating on.”
The Rocketman is still standing, and I have a feeling he will regain his eyesight because nothing seems to keep him down.

Elton John became a member of the exclusive EGOT club yesterday at the Emmys. However, he wasn’t there to accept his award.
After the show was over, the singer explained why he wasn’t there. The Rocketman wrote: “We won an Emmy and I am on cloud nine!! Receiving this recognition is a testament to the passion and dedication of everyone involved, and I am so deeply grateful.
“Whilst I am gutted that I couldn’t be there to accept this award in person– I recently underwent a knee operation, a gentle reminder, perhaps, of a lifetime spent jumping off pianos (see pic 2!) – my heartfelt thanks go out to the @televisionacad and all those who took the time to vote. This award reflects the collective effort and creativity of an amazing team…”
Then Sir Elton addressed his new title, “Honoured to have joined the hallowed ranks of EGOT winners, here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives!”
Congrats to Elton. With all that he has contributed to entertainment over the decades, he has definitely earned this achievement.

Elton John hospitalized over a fall |

Elton John fell over the weekend in his Mont Boron villa outside of Nice, France, and spent the night in the hospital.
“Elton visited the local hospital as a precautionary measure,” his rep said. “Following checkups, he was immediately discharged this morning and is now back home and in good health.”
This is not his first fall. The same happened to the 76-year-old singer in the summer of 2021. Back then, “he fell awkwardly on a hard surface”, and surgery was required to relieve his considerable pain. And due to the injury, he postponed his final tour for almost two years.
Hopefully, he will be better soon.

Elton John is about to end his touring days, and the AP wanted to know what is his favorite song to sing live. The singer has two. The first one he mentioned is Someone Saved My Life Tonight. But his favorite one is Tiny Dancer.
It wasn’t always that way. He says he didn’t always pay that much attention to it until the movie, Almost Famous gave the 1971 song a resurgence. Now, it is the song he loves to sing the most.
When it comes to which tune he has sung the most. Of course, that is our song, I mean, Your Song!
When it comes to my favorite song that I’ve seen him perform live, because it is all about me, that title goes to The Last Song. What is your favorite single of his that you love to hear him perform in person?
