(Europa Press). This weekend was presented in London the musical ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, production for which Elton John has written the lyrics of the songs. The singer attended the event, where he revealed the important health problem he is going through and that has left him almost without vision. The musician, who was accompanied by his husband, David Furnish, came clean on stage. “As some of you may know,
I had problems and now I have lost my eyesight. I couldn’t see the performance but I enjoyed it. “, she said. “My husband has been my support because I haven’t been able to attend many of the rehearsals. It’s hard for me to see him but I love listening to him and he sounded great tonight – thanks for coming!” she added. The artist has suffered from vision problems since contracting an infection in his right eye in July. John told Good Morning America in November that he developed the infection in the south of France. “Unfortunately, in July I lost the sight in my right eye because I had an infection in the south of France. And I haven’t been able to see for four months now. And my left eye is not the best either. So there’s hope that everything will be OK, but I’m a little bit stuck at the moment,” he said at the time. “I can do something like this,” he added, referring to the interview, adding, “But going into the studio and recording, I don’t know, because I can’t see the lyrics to begin with. We’re taking the initiative to try to make it better, but at the moment that’s what we’re concentrating on. I can’t see anything, I can’t read anything.” Already last September, the artist shared a statement on Instagram about his health condition. “Over the summer, I’ve been struggling with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with limited vision in one eye. I am recovering, but it is an extremely slow process and it will be some time before sight returns to the affected eye,” the caption read. “I have quietly spent the summer recovering at home and I feel positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery so far,” he added.
