Elton John unable to watch own musical 

Sir Elton John was unable to watch the premiere of his new West End musical ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ due to ongoing vision impairment.  

The 77-year-old singer, who wrote the score for the production, admitted on stage: ‘I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews because, as you know, I have lost my eyesight.  

‘So it’s hard for me to see it. But I love to hear it and boy it sounded good tonight.’  

In September, he shared to his Instagram that he had contracted a severe eye infection that had left him blind in his right eye and with ‘only limited vision’ in his left.
