ALISON BOSHOFF: The overwhelming love that's helped Elton John fight a decade of health battles - and why he'll never lose hope even though his sight is failing
There was a tearful break of emotion in Elton John's voice on Sunday when he announced to an audience of family and friends in London's West End: 'As you know, I have lost my eyesight.'
The couple sat in the Royal Box with friend Donatella Versace and Vogue supremo Anna Wintour, who was the inspiration for the original Devil Wears Prada book, which became a hit film in 2006 starring Meryl Streep. A bumpy run in Chicago in 2022 meant a complete re-working for the West End, where – starring Vanessa Williams as fashion editor Miranda Priestly – it was received with rapturous applause by his invited guests on Sunday evening.
