Elton John has been admitting for several months that he has recently been struggling with serious health problems. In 2024, he shared his difficult situation on social media, which greatly worried fans. He admitted then that his eyesight was deteriorating dramatically, and now there is no good news either.
Elton John honestly about health problems. “The last 15 months have been a challenge for me”
Although Elton John repeatedly assured that he was under excellent care of specialists, he admitted that he was fighting an infection, which caused him to partially lose vision in one eye. Now it turns out that the worst has happened. “I lost my right eye and my left eye is not as good, the last 15 months have been a challenge for me because I haven’t been able to see, see or read,” the musician admitted to Variety, emphasizing that the whole situation was “devastating” for him.
In the same material, Elton John emphasized that the treatment was bringing some results – the artist noticed a slight improvement in the vision in his left eye. He also admitted that this process is very slow. The singer expressed gratitude to doctors, nurses, fans and his family for their care and support during this difficult time.
However, Elton John does not lose his fighting spirit. “I have had an amazing life and there is still hope,” he says. “I just have to be patient and hope that one day science will help me. When it helps me, everything will be fine. It’s exactly like with AIDS. You can’t lose hope, you have to be stoic, you have to be strong and you always have to try to break down the door to improve something,” he admits.
