Legendary British musician, Elton John, has lost his eyesight.
At the premiere of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ The Musical in London on Sunday, December 1, the 77-year-old pianist revealed that while he couldn’t see the show, he thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.
Addressing the theatre audience, the award-winning singer expressed his gratitude for his husband’s support during difficult times.
He said, “As some of you may know I have had issues and now I have lost my sight. I haven’t been able to see the performance but I have enjoyed it.
“To my husband, who has been my rock because I have not been able to come to many of the previews.
“It’s hard for me to see it, but I love to hear it and it sounded good tonight.”
The music icon had earlier shared that he lost vision in one eye after contracting a severe eye infection during his vacation.
John is one of the best-selling artists of all time, renowned for iconic hits like Your Song, Rocket Man, and I’m Still Standing.
Over a career spanning six decades, he has sold more than 300 million records worldwide.
His accolades include five Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards (including Outstanding Contribution to Music), two Academy Awards, and two Golden Globes.
