The music legend shared that he is unable to see his own musical, 'The Devil Wears Prada,' following a prolonged battle with an eye infection that began in July.

  • Elton John disclosed at a London gala for 'The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical' that he has lost his eyesight, preventing him from watching the performance he scored.
  • The 77-year-old musician attributed his vision loss to a severe eye infection contracted in July while in France, which has left him unable to see out of his right eye and with limited vision in his left.
  • John expressed gratitude to his husband, David Furnish, whom he described as his 'rock' during his ongoing health challenges.
  • The vision impairment has affected John's ability to work on new music, including delaying a planned album with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin.
