Sir Elton added: “They worry as they know how old I am. Not so much David but me. They love their Daddy so they want me to be around forever. I want to be around forever. I want to see them have children, get married but I don’t think I am going to be around for that. Who knows? You never know. So that is why I want to make the best of my time while I am around. Our time together is so wonderful and so precious.
He said: “It 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.” After being moved to a different hospital, he spent the next two days in intensive care. Sir Elton said: “In the hospital, alone at the dead of night, I’d prayed, ‘Please don’t let me die, please let me see my kids again, please give me a little longer.’”
