Elton John might be losing his eyesight, but he’s sure not losing his sense of humor.
The music icon, now 77, has given an update on his health in recent months after an eye infection caused John to lose all sight in one eye.
Speaking at the opening night of the The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical last month, the pop star said: “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.”
While seems have looked some-what bleak for John, he made light of the situation at tonight’s Golden Globes (January 5).
As he went on stage with Brandi Carlile to present the award for Best Original Score, John said in the microphone: “There’s been a lot of stories going around about my regressive eyesight, I just want to reassure everyone: It’s not as bad as it seems.”
The 77-year-old went on to joke: “I’m so pleased to be here with my co-host, Rihanna.”
The audience then erupted into laughter as Carlile announced the winner – that being Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Challengers.
Other winners tonight include Zoe Saldaña for best supporting actress, and Kieran Culkin for best supporting actor.
