Legendary musician Elton John is struggling to see his brand new musical because he has reportedly lost his eyesight following the contraction of an infection, according to the Associated Press (h/t MyNews13).
John, 77, said back in September that an infection had left him “with only limited vision in one eye” and was in attendance this week for the opening of “The Devil Wears Prada” in London where he told audiences – “I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews because, as you know, I have lost my eyesight.”
John wrote the score for the stage musical that is based on the 2006 hit film.
“So it’s hard for me to see it, but I love to hear it and, boy, it sounded good tonight,” John added. The musician stated back in September of this year that an infection had left him “with only limited vision in one eye.”, posting on his official Instagram page that “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.”
