Elton John has been flooded with well-wishes after speaking about his health issues.
Taking to Instagram, the musician informed fans that he’s recovering slowly from a severe eye infection, which has left him with limited sight in one eye.
‘Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,’ he began.
‘I am healing but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.’
The 77-year-old continued: ‘I am 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.
‘I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.’
