Elton John Winks At Eyesight Issues While Presenting At The Golden Globes
HuffPost
The five-time Grammy winner revealed last year that a “severe eye infection” had left him with limited vision in his right eye.
Elton John sent fans a winking clarification about his eyesight while appearing at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday.
As he took the stage alongside Brandi Carlile, John proved he hasn’t lost his sense of humor while cracking a joke about his recent vision issues.
“I don’t know if you know, but there’s been a lot of stories going around about my regressive eyesight. I just want to reassure everybody that it’s not as bad as it seems,” he quipped. “So I’m so pleased to be here with my co-host, Rihanna!”
He and Carlile then presented the award for Best Original Score to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for “Challengers.”
