Elton John Provides Health Update After Revealing 'Severe' Condition Impacted His Vision
Elton John is reassuring fans about his health after spending the whole summer "dealing with a severe eye infection."
The "Crocodile Rock" singer revealed that he's suffering from "limited vision in one eye" as a result of the unspecified infection in a new statement uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday, Sept. 4. While he is "healing," it's going to "take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye."
He went on to express his gratitude for his "excellent" care team and supporters "who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks," revealing that he's "been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home..."
While he remained mum about the specifics of his infection, he assured fans that he's "feeling positive about the progress" that he's made in recovering so far, and his famous friends and fans alike were sure to send him their love to help.
"?? all love," choreographer Jerry Mitchell wrote in response, while Teagan Croft joked, "Noo elton! I bet you rock an eyepatch tho like a sexy pirate."
"Sending our love and support your way. Feel better soon, friend," Billie Jean King wrote, while Al Roker sweetly said, "You are pure light and pray that light helps heal that eye. We love you, Sir Elton."
"Sending you all the love and peace that’s possible," Billy Porter added, with countless others sending similar sentiments.
The musician left fans concerned last summer, too, when he was brought to the hospital as a “precautionary measure” after suffering “a slip” at home in France, but, thankfully, all seems to be well for the "Rocket Man."
