Mon Dec 02 02:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Elton John Reveals Ongoing Vision Problems at “Devil Wears Prada” Premiere

**London, December 2, 2024** – Sir Elton John revealed he is experiencing ongoing vision problems, attributing the issue to an eye infection contracted during a summer vacation. The 77-year-old music icon made the announcement during the opening night of *The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical* in London on Sunday.

While attending the premiere, John told the audience he was unable to see the performance due to his significantly impaired vision. “As some of you may know, I have had issues and now I have lost my sight,” he said. He acknowledged the support of his husband, David Furnish, who assisted him throughout the evening. “To my husband, who’s been my rock,” John shared, thanking Furnish for his help navigating his vision challenges.

This is not the first time John has discussed his health struggles. In September, he shared on Instagram that he had contracted an infection resulting in limited vision in one eye. He later confirmed to *Good Morning America* in November that he lost vision in his right eye after suffering an infection while in the south of France in July. John described the impact, stating, “It kind of floored me, and I can’t see anything. I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.”

While acknowledging the ongoing challenges, John expressed hope for eventual recovery. His vision loss has also impacted his recording work, with John stating in the *GMA* interview that he has been unable to record new music. Despite these challenges, he remains positive about the future.
