Sir Elton John has ‘lost’the sight in his right eye, and said he hasn’t been able to see in four months.
The Tiny Dancer hitmaker, 77, revealed in September he had spent the summer battling an infection and while he has ‘hope’ he will be able to see properly again eventually, he’s currently unable to work on new music because of the limitations with his vision.
He told Good Morning America: ‘It’s been a while since I’ve done anything, I just have to get off my backside.
‘I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France.
‘It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. My left eye is not the greatest.
‘There’s hope and encouragement that it will be okay, but I’m kind of stuckat the moment, because I can do something like this, but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know. Because I can’t see a lyric for start.’
