At Golden Globes, Elton John Presents Award & Jokes About His Health Struggles


Elton John made one of his first public appearances since announcing that he had lost his eyesight when he presented the Golden Globe for Original Score tonight.

On December 1, the legendary singer-songwriter said at a West End gala performance of The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical(for which he wrote the lyrics) that he was only able to enjoy the show in an auditory manner, per the BBC. “I have lost my sight and I haven’t been able to see the performance but I have enjoyed listening to it,” he said on stage at the charity event for the Elton John AIDS Foundation held at The Dominion Theatre in London on Sunday evening. In November, the five-time Grammy winner revealed to ABC News’ Robin Roberts that his eyesight had deteriorated and that plans for a new album were put on hold as a result of the health issue.
