Elton John has admitted that his ongoing eye infection has left him "stuck" while trying to create new music.

The music legend opened up about his eye infection back in September, which had left him partially blind in one eye.

“What’s happened with my eye has been very distressing,” he said at the time. “Because I’m used to getting out in the morning, looking at all the newspapers, looking at the charts, looking at everything, how the world is doing creatively. And I’ve lost that for the time being”.

Elton also paid tribute to his family and "excellent team of doctors and nurses".

“I am so 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", he said.

"it's not the greatest" - Elton John on eye infection 

In a new interview with Good Morning America, Elton John offered a fresh update regarding his health.

“I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France", he said. “It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. And my left eye is not the greatest". 

This comes just a week after Elton John's Broadway musical was cancelled a week after it was launched. More on this from Nova here.
