Elton John lightheartedly addressed his recent vision issues while presenting an award at the Golden Globes, reassuring fans that it's not as severe as reported.
Elton John made this year's Golden Globes audience break into laughter while poking fun at his failing eyesight.At the time, he also described the vision in his left eye as 'not the greatest'. Elton had been given the job of presenting the gong for Best Original Score alongside US singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, who he collaborated with on his latest album.
He said: 'It's a very special night for me to be here because, I don't know if you know, but there has been a lot of stories going around about my regressive eyesight. 'And I just want to reassure everyone it is not as bad as it seems. I’m so pleased to be here with my co-host,He and Brandi then went on to announce the winners of the award - Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for their Challengers soundtrack. Elton shocked fans last month by sharing the news about his vision at the premiere and charity gala of The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical. He told the audience in London: 'As some of you may know I have had issues and now I have lost my sight. He continued with a tribute to David, saying: 'To my husband who’s been my rock because I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews. 'It’s hard for me to see it but I love to hear it and it sounded good tonight. Thank you for coming!' He said: 'I unfortunately lost my eye sight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France.' Elton added: 'It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. My left eye is not the greatest. Elton had appeared on the US breakfast show to promote his documentary, Elton John: It's Never Too Late. But the superstar singer - who shares sons Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, with David - said losing his vision had derailed him.“It kind of floored me, and I can’t see anything,' Elton continue
