Elton John gives update on his eye infection, says it’s been ‘distressing’
Los Angeles, Singer Elton John, who recently revealed that he is left with limited vision in one eye after a severe infection, said he was unable to watch his new documentary properly when it had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2024.
Co-directed by his manager and husband David Furnish and filmmaker R J Cutler, โNever Too Lateโ was screened at the gala on Friday.
The documentary takes an intense look at the first five years of John’s career in the 1970s and juxtaposes them with his recent โFarewell Yellow Brick Roadโ tour.
In his first public appearance since announcing his diagnosis on social media, the 77-year-old told Variety: “I couldnโt really see it because of my eye, but I sensed it. Iโd seen it before. I donโt know. Seeing it with an audience is far more emotional than just sitting with a bunch of people. I got more out of it last night than I did when I saw it the first time, and it hit harder.”
The eye infection is a roadblock to his daily routine.
“Whatโs happened with my eye has been veryโฆ just, itโs been very distressing because Iโm used to getting out in the morning, looking at all the newspapers, looking at the charts, looking at everything, how the world is doing creatively, and Iโve lost that for the time being. Itโs been seven weeks since Iโve been able to see all of this, but the prospect is good. I had a hell of a time,” the multiple award-winning musician added.
In his Instagram post shared earlier this week, John had said while he is on the road to recovery, it will take some time before sight in the affected eye returns.
โNever Too Lateโ is slated to stream on Disney on December 13.
