""The last 15 months have been challenging for me because I haven't been able to see anything, watch anything, read anything," John told Variety in a new interview. "I've had the most incredible life, and there is hope." John's husband and two sons have been an invaluable crutch for him during this period, as well as his brethren of rockers who enjoy frequently checking in on their mate."
""Paul McCartney FaceTimes me to see how I'm doing. It's really beautiful," he explained. "The love I've received from him and from Pete Townshend and Mick Jagger and people like that have been amazing. Or you get an email from Keith Richards saying, 'Hello, darling, how you doing? You know we love you,' and that's it, but it just makes my day.""
Elton John has been without vision in his right eye for more than 15 months and describes the experience as devastating and challenging. He reports not being able to see, watch, or read during this period while maintaining a busy schedule in 2025 and adapting his lifestyle. His husband and two sons provide crucial support and care. Fellow rock musicians frequently check in through FaceTime, emails and messages, with examples including Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. These acts of kindness lift his spirits and inspire him to stay connected and pay it forward, and he remains hopeful.
