Sir Elton John reveals a 'higher power' is looking over him after previously helping him through 'drug addiction, depression and loneliness' after revealing he has lost his sight

As I delve into the captivating journey of Sir Elton John, it becomes increasingly evident that his life is a testament to resilience, talent, and love. The man who has given us timeless hits like “Rocket Man” and “Your Song” is now facing an unexpected challenge – the loss of sight in one eye. Yet, as he candidly admits, it’s not the music or the awards that define him; it’s his role as a husband and father.

Sir Elton John shared that throughout his lifetime, he believes a greater force or guiding influence has been watching over him. Previously, this unseen helper aided him in conquering his personal struggles.

As a devoted admirer, I’d express it like this: “At 77 years old, the artist candidly shares his thoughts, revealing he’s not deeply tied to the biblical conception of God, yet he firmly believes in a guiding, protective spirit that seems to be always by his side.

During an interview with TIME magazine, he shared that his beliefs played a crucial role in assisting him conquer his struggles with substance abuse, depression, and providing solace during a time of isolation.

El intérprete de la Canción del Pequeño Bailarín expresó: “No creo demasiado en el dios bíblico, pero tengo fe.

Throughout my lifetime, a greater force has been guiding me – it’s been there for me during my struggles with substance abuse, helping me overcome depression, providing comfort in times of loneliness, and ultimately assisting me on my journey to sobriety.

‘He’s been there all the time, I think. I just didn’t acknowledge him.’

Previously, Sir Elton openly shared his regret about his initial encounter with a line of cocaine, which he mentioned in an honest interview back in 2021.

The artist admitted to LADbible that he participated casually, but it turned into a compulsion, consuming a significant portion (two decades) of his life.

For the past 35 years, he’s maintained his sobriety. On the 30th anniversary of his sobriety in 2020, he shared with his Instagram followers that if he hadn’t made the crucial decision to seek help 30 years ago, he would not be alive today.

The confession came after he revealed he had lost his sight in one eye after suffering a severe eye infection.

On Wednesday, he joined Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, where he was accompanied by his spouse David Furnish. They discussed his life, career, and the intimate struggles showcased in his recently released documentary.

He recently opened up about losing his sight in his right eye in the summer while in the South of France and as a result can’t see, read or watch anything.

During the interview, the music icon shared that he unfortunatley lost sight in his right eye due to an infection back in July while in the south of France. It has now been four months without any vision restoration.

Additionally, my left eye isn’t perfect, but there’s optimism and motivation for improvement. We’re actively working towards enhancing its condition, which is our primary focus at this time.

In an effort to reassure concerned fans about his well-being, Sir Elton jokingly mentioned that he and his partner David undergo regular blood tests every half a year in Los Angeles. He added that their health is currently thriving.

It’s always unfortunate when something like this occurs. I find myself unable to perceive, understand, or observe anything at the moment.

The hitmaker, who played his final shows last summer, revealed his eyesight issues in September.

Over the past few months, the performer who wrapped up his performances last summer, revealed that he’s been resting at home since then.

Recovery is happening gradually for me, but it’s a very lengthy journey as my affected eye isn’t regaining vision immediately; I still have quite a wait ahead.

I’m incredibly thankful for the exceptional medical team composed of doctors and nurses, as well as my family, who have been diligently caring for me during the past few weeks.

Elton found: ‘I’ve been quietly recovering at home this summer, and I feel optimistic about the advancements I’ve made in my healing process so far.’

In an update to fans, the singer known as the Rocket Man shared with ABC News that due to an eye infection, he currently lacks vision, making it impossible for him to see, read, or watch anything at the moment.

In a recent interview with a U.S. news network concerning his upcoming documentary titled “Never Too Late”, Elton John confessed that he was uncertain if he could produce any fresh tunes due to prioritizing his well-being over musical pursuits.

He mentioned that it’s been some time since he engaged in any activity. He feels it’s high time for him to shake off his lethargy. Regrettably, in July, he suffered an infection in the south of France which resulted in a loss of sight in his right eye.

It’s been about four months since I’ve lost my sight, and my left eye isn’t in the best condition. However, there’s a glimmer of optimism and reassurance that things will improve, but for now, I find myself in a stationary state.

‘I could potentially accomplish tasks similar to this one, however, when it comes to going into the studio and recording, I’m uncertain, as I can’t envision lyrics from the get-go.’

Currently, our focus is primarily on making improvements. At this point, that’s where all our efforts are being directed.

The renowned musician-composer openly stated: ‘Nothing like this is ever lucky to occur. It left me stunned, and I can’t perceive anything, I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.’

Following the breaking news, Sir Elton has taken some time to ponder over his lasting impact and has since devoted more attention towards his loved ones.

He explained that he believes there’s more to life than winning awards and confessed he would rather be remembered as a ‘great husband and an even better father’.

The performer, who shares sons Zachary (age 13) and Elijah (age 11) with spouse David Furnish, emphasized that his personal family life takes precedence over his musical profession.

On Good Morning America, Elton shared, “My songs stand tall without explanation. My lasting impact comes from being a wonderful spouse and an exceptional parent.

‘The music, the career is fantastic. It’s been mind-blowing, groundbreaking. But the most important thing to me in my life is making sure my children are happy, they have a wonderful life and that I was good to them. That’s all that counts.’
