During a recent interview with the British publication, The Times, 78-year-old music legend Elton John talked about how his recent health issues have been impacting his life as a father.
For those who don’t know, Elton shares his two sons, — Zachary, 14, and Elijah, 12, with his husband David Furnish.
And while Elton loves being a father, it has been more difficult this past year due to his limited vision in one eye following a severe infection.
I can’t read. I can’t see my boys playing rugby and soccer, and it has been a very stressful time, because I’m used to soaking it all up. It’s distressing. You get emotional, but you have to get used to it, because I’m lucky to have the life I have. I still have my wonderful family, and I can still see something out of here.
He first talked about this eye condition in a post last year on his Instagram account. He apparently got an infection while in France in the summer.
It kind of floored me, and I can’t see anything. I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.
Apparently, the eye that wasn’t impacted by the infection was already bad, but he’s working with doctors to improve it.
We certainly wish him all the best. We can only imagine how difficult it must be for him.
