Elton John 'Can't Read’ or Watch Sons Play Sports After Losing Eyesight

Elton John explains why his recent eyesight loss has led to a ‘very stressful time’

The legendary musician, 77, told the audience at the opening night of The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical in London on Sunday, December 1, that he struggled to see the stage, according to the Daily Mail. “I knew her because I had bought her album and she’s the most remarkable singer, so I said, ‘Absolutely, but you’ll have to come to Vegas because I’m stuck here.’ We became friends and I took an interest in where she was going,” John told The Times. “They stood up to me and I got frustrated, but it’s no good working with ‘yes people.’ If I want to make a great album aged 76 or 77, I’ve got to be told and they put up with my little foibles, which were really about anxiety, self-doubt and not feeling very well at the time,” John said.
