Sir Elton John has issued a worrying health update.
The singer took to Instagram to inform his followers with a message: “Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye. I am healing but it’s been an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.”

“I am grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks. I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.”

The singer signed off this message with “love and gratitude” before adding his signature, along with a kiss for his fans. Many of his A-list pals rushed to comment on the star’s post, with Donatella Versace gushing: “Sending you so much love Elton! Feel better soon. Love you.”

Westlife’s Brian McFadden added a line of heart emojis for the Your Song singer as more celebs told him to “take his time,” to “get well soon” and “heal quickly”. This isn’t Elton’s first health scare in recent years – last year the musician was taken to hospital after a nasty fall.
While at his villa in Nice, Elton fell and was rushed to doctors to check him over. He eventually had hip surgery and was forced to reschedule some dates of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

He addressed the issue at Windsor Castle while in attendance as a member of the Order of the Champions. While using the support of a walking stick, the Candle in the Wind singer said: “I may not look as if I’m 100% fit – I’m not quite – but I’m still raring to go and I’ve got a lot more work to do as far as my life goes.”
