After losing the sight in his right eye last year as the result of an infection and being forced to delay the release of his new album, legendary singer Elton John has shared his feelings with British newspaper The Times, revealing that he can’t read, watch TV, or see his children playing rugby and soccer. John told The Times, “It has been a very stressful time because I’m used to soaking it all up. It’s distressing.“ He continued, “You get emotional, but you have to get used to it because I’m lucky to have the life I have. I still have my wonderful family.” He added, while pointing to his left eye, “I can still see something out of here. So you say to yourself, just get on with it.” Despite this setback, he told the paper, “Here I am at 78, feeling better than I have ever been. This [eye] is a bastard, but we’ll get over it. There is a lot more to do.”
