Following a recent health scare, the “Rocket Man” crooner revealed on September 4, 2024, that he is currently suffering with impaired eyesight in one eye. Fans reacted right away, offering their condolences and prayers for a speedy recovery.

“Unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection over the summer that has left me with only limited vision in one eye,” Elton John wrote.

It will take some time before his sight returns to the damaged eye, John continued, adding that the mending process is incredibly sluggish.
