Legendary singer and performer Elton John is speaking out about an ongoing health issue he’s been dealing with.
In a statement shared on Instagram, John revealed that “over the summer, l’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection.”
As he continued, John wrote that the eye infection “has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye.”
“I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye,” the singer shared with his fans. “I am 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.”
John said that he’s “been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.”
John didn’t go into details about what type of infection affected his eye so severely or how the infection occurred.
