Sir Elton John, 77, admits he's had days 'where he feels miserable' about his declining vision after an infection left him blind in one eye

The legendary musician, 77, contracted a severe eye infection he contracted in July in France which left him blind in his right eye, with 'limited vision' in his left.

In breathtakingly awkward scenes from his documentary, the pop legend is seen slamming his headphones down and tearing up a piece of sheet music as he tells aghast onlookers: 'I'm going home' as he brands the session a 'f***ing nightmare.' Sir Elton has been captivating audiences with his chart-topping hits since the late 60s, but the first half of his career was plagued with addictions to drugs, alcohol, sex and shopping — as well as his battle with bulimia. The singer entered into a civil partnership with Canadian filmmaker David Furnish, 56, in December 2005, before tying the knot when same-sex marriage became legal in England and Wales in March 2014.
