Elton John is healing after a health scare that left him partially blind, he told fans on Tuesday.
In a statement posted to Instagram, the 77-year-old singer-songwriter explained that he’d spent the summer battling “a severe eye infection.” He did not say how he contracted it or share further details about the infection, but added that he’d been left “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 continued. “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.
