Elton John made a shocking admission over the weekend: he has lost his sight.
The legendary singer revealed the unfortunate news at a charity event following Sunday’s premiere of new musical The Devil Wears Prada at England’s Dominion Theatre.
Elton wrote the score for the play, based on the popular 2006 film about a young assistant trying to survive her treacherous boss at a fashion magazine.
During his speech, Elton told the audience that he had been unable to watch many previews of the play because he had lost his eyesight.
He added, “It’s hard for me to see it, but I love hearing it and, boy, did it sound good tonight.”
You may remember back in September… Elton announced on Instagram that he had come down with an infection that resulted in “limited vision in one eye.”

At the time, he said it was “healing, but it’s a very slow process and it will take some time for vision to return to the affected eye.”
Unfortunately, that never happened.
