Sir Elton John tells fans ‘I’ve lost my eyesight’ before he’s led off stage by David Furnish

Sir Elton John told fans he’s “lost his eyesight” in a rare health admission.

Along with his husband David Furnish, the legendary musician was a part of a production of The Devil Wears Prada in London’s West End. However, the 77-year-old rocker was led away from the stage by David. It comes after Elton admitted to having an infection that had left him feeling “stuck.”

Speaking at the theatre, he told fans: “I’ve lost my eyesight and cannot see the stage”. He continued, “I have had issues and I have now lost my sight,” as some of you may be aware of. Although I wasn’t able to witness the performance, I found it entertaining. It’s difficult for me to see it, but my husband has been my rock because I’ve missed seeing a lot of the previews, and it sounded good tonight, okay. Thank you for coming”! Following the performance, Sir Elton made sure to stay and meet the cast and crew, according to sources close to the Mirror.

Elton previously said the eye infection, diagnosed earlier this year, has stalled his music recording. Sir Elton continued: “It’s been a while since I’ve done anything, and well, I just have to get off my backside. Due to an infection in the south of France, I had to have my right eye removed in July, and it has been four months since then. My left eye is not as good as it can. So there’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK, but it’s… I’m kind of stuck at the moment, because I can do something like this (an interview), but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know, because I can’t see a lyric for a start”.

In September, Sir Elton told his social media followers he was “healing” after the infection but his recovery had been slowed down. He revealed that he was considering putting together a new album with Bernie Taupin, his long-time collaborator, during a conversation on ABC News’ Good Morning America.

The father-of-two also revealed that while on vacation in South of France, he lost sight. The actress stated on Instagram in September that she had been suffering from an eye infection that had left her with only limited vision in one eye. Although I’m healing, it will take some time before the impacted eye can see again.

I’m so appreciative of the excellent team of doctors, nurses, and my family for taking such good care of me lately. I’ve been recuperating at home for the summer, and I’m feeling optimistic about how far my healing and recovery have gone. With love and gratitude. “

The musician has completely changed his way of life and admits to observing his food since his health scare. Revealing it had been a” long time “since he’d enjoyed a sweet treat, he said:” I can have an apple, I can eat a bit of melon. As long as you’re sensible about it, it doesn’t shoot your blood sugar up. But what I crave is chocolate and ice cream, I can’t have any ice cream. “

Talking on Lady Ruth Rogers ‘ Ruthie’s Table 4 podcast, he added:” If I had a death row meal, it wouldn’t contain anything except sweets, because I can’t eat them now. So, I’d have ice cream, donuts, apple pie, rhubarb crumble. “Elton, who was first identified with Type 2 diabetes in 2000, has had a number of health issues recently.
