Elton John Admits He's 'Very Stressed' as Eye Condition Affects Life with His 2 Sons: 'You Get Emotional'


Elton John spoke candidly about how having limited vision in one eye following a 'severe' infection has caused him stress while parenting in an interview with the British newspaper 'The Times.' The musician shares sons Zachary, 14, and Elijah, 12, with husband David Furnish.

John first revealed his vision loss last year, sharing in a post on Instagram that it occurred after he contracted an infection.

In his recently released documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, the artist said his two kids express fears about his death.
