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.
