Elton John reveals battle with severe eye infection
Elton John, the British singer, says he was recuperating from a severe eye infection that limited his vision in one eye.
In a recent Instagram post, the 77-year-old pianist said he had to battle the infection throughout this summer and that his recovery would take time.
“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” the songwriter wrote.
“I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.”
He added that he was “so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks”.
“I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery so far.”
John is one of the best-selling artistes of all time. He is known for hits like ‘Your Song’, ‘Rocket Man’ and ‘I’m Still Standing’.

On a sad note, this is also the first public function of the Commission since the death last month of our colleague, retired Major General Abubakar Modibbo Alkali, a conscientious officer who diligently dedicated his life to the service of his country, both in active service and upon retirement”, he said. He noted that the Commission was aware of concerns expressed by many Nigerians about the pending bye-elections and the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration CVR nationwide. According to him, the number of bye-elections has now risen to 17. “We are aware of the urgency to commence the CVR, particularly in view of the forthcoming Governorship election in Anambra State. We want to assure Nigerians that we are finalising our preparations for both activities, the details of which will soon be made public”, he said.
