In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the legendary musician Elton John said that he is recovering after an infection left him with “only limited vision in one eye.”
“I am healing, but it is an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye,” he said in the post. “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.”
John also said that he has been spending the summer at his home and feels good about his recovery process.
The news comes almost a year after John was hospitalized due to a fall in his home in Nice, France. He was not seriously injured by the fall, though it did leave fans of the icon worried.
John earned his EGOT status this year after he won an Emmy. John’s “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” won best variety special live at the awards ceremony.
The singer did not share anything else about what may have caused the infection.
