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.
