Elton John almost went blind in one eye due to a terrible infection: how the 77-year-old singer feels now

The world-famous British musician Elton John announced that he had been fighting an infection in his eye over the summer, which resulted in a deterioration of his vision. Although now the star is feeling better, he continues to undergo treatment.

The 77-year-old singer did not disclose the name of the infection, but said that his rehabilitation was slow. Elton John announced his health status on Instagram. He published a letter with his signature.

"Over the summer, I have been dealing with a severe eye infection that 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," he provided an encouraging update.

The celebrity noted that he was not hospitalized, and all rehabilitation took place at home. He did not say how long he had been fighting the infection, but noted that it had been "over the summer."

"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 past few weeks. I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and I am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far. With love and gratitude, Elton John," the singer continued.
