John, who previously disclosed an eye infection that left him unable to see out of his right eye, revealed that his left eye’s vision has also deteriorated significantly.
Addressing the audience during the launch of the musical The Devil Wears Prada—for which he composed the score—he admitted that he could no longer see the performance, though he still appreciated the music.

“I can’t see the show, but it sounded good tonight,” he remarked, blending humor with honesty.
The condition has affected his ability to read and could potentially hinder future music projects, raising concerns among fans about what this means for the star’s creative journey moving forward.
Elton took a heartfelt moment to thank his husband, David Furnish, for his unwavering support during this challenging time. The couple, who share two children, have long been celebrated for their enduring partnership, and Furnish’s role has become even more significant as Elton adapts to his vision loss.
Having recently concluded his farewell tour (2018–2023), Elton John has been focusing on family life and selective projects. Despite his health struggles, he attended the red carpet event for The Devil Wears Prada in a show of resilience and dedication to his craft.
Despite this personal challenge, Elton John’s influence on the music world remains unparalleled. Fans and colleagues alike continue to rally around him, offering their unwavering support as he navigates this new chapter in his life.
