Elton John last night shocked fans after revealing he can no longer see out of either eye.
Attending a gala performance of his musical The Devil Wears Prada in London, the 77-year-old admitted he was physically unable to watch the show.
It came just weeks after the musician admitted a severe eye infection he contracted in July in France left him blind in his right eye, with ‘limited vision’ in his left.
‘Now, I have lost my sight and I haven’t been able to see the performance but I have enjoyed listening to it,’ Elton, famous for his show-stopping glasses, said.
Eye infections may seem like a relatively minor – but inconvenient – health issue. Conjunctivitis is among the most common.
Yet others can develop into something far more serious, with sufferers experiencing symptoms from itching and swelling to vision loss.
