The pop veteran told the morning program “Good Morning America” ​​that he has not been able to see with his right eye for the past four months, and that the vision in his left eye “is not the best” either.
– I can do things like this (the interview), but going into the studio and recording becomes worse, because, for example, I can’t see a song’s lyrics, said Elton John according to BBC.
The 77-year-old admits that he is “beaten to the floor” because he cannot see anything.
– I can’t read anything, I can’t look at anything.
– There is hope
Therefore, it has been a while since he has worked on the new album, and he said that he has “stuck a bit”. But Elton John is undergoing treatment for the eye problems and states:
– There is hope and encouraging words that this will go well. At the moment, this is what we are really concentrating on.
It was last November that Elton John revealed that he had just finished a new album with his longtime lyricist partner Bernie Taupin. He described it as “absolutely wonderful and full of youth and vitality”. Possibly it was the songwriting he was referring to. Elton’s previous studio album with new material came in 2016.
Documentary on Disney
The sight problems did not prevent him from appearing at events such as screenings of the new documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late” at the Toronto film festivals in September and London in October. It will be available on Disney’s streaming service from 13 December.
IN the review it says: “Elton John looks back on life and the early glory years of his 50-year career in this emotional documentary. As he prepares for his last concert in the US, he takes us back to a time full of hardship, abuse and addiction, and the struggle to overcome this and become the icon he is today.”
