The legendary British singer Elton John told about unexpected health problems that dramatically changed his usual life. In an interview with The Times, the artist shared that his vision had severely deteriorated after the infection he had suffered in 2024 in the summer of 2024. According to Elton, the infection was severe, and its consequences affected one of the most important feelings - the ability to see.
"I can't read anymore, I can't watch TV, I do not see how my boys play rugby or football," the artist said, referring to his sons, Zakari and Elija. The loss of the opportunity to visually monitor the life of the family and participate in simple household things has become especially painful for him.
Elton John emphasized that this situation has become an emotional blow to him, because he was used to an active lifestyle, work, touring and direct participation in the upbringing of children. In an interview, he touched his left eye, talking about how difficult it is to put up with the loss of functions that had previously seemed ordinary.
"It was a very busy period. It is upset. But you have to adapt. I am lucky to be alive. I still have my wonderful family and I can still see something. So I tell myself: just keep living," the musician said.
Despite the fact that Elton John no longer stands on the Great Tour (his farewell tour of Farewell Yellow Brick Road ended in 2023), he continues to be actively involved in charity, in particular in the fight against HIV/AIDS through his Elton John Aids Foundation . In difficult times, he also does not lose interest in social and humanitarian initiatives.
As for the state of vision, it is not yet known whether it is possible to restore it at least partially. The artist does not specify medical details, but in his words it is clear that the deterioration has become sudden and has a long -term nature.
Artist's fans and friends around the world express Elton's support, wishing him strength, positive and speedy improvement. His frankness in health issues has become an example of courage with which he accepts new challenges in life without losing faith in better.
