After telling ABC’s Good Morning America<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that he’s lost the vision in his right eye due to an infection and that his left eye is “not the greatest,” Elton John\u00a0<\/strong>says he\u00a0hasn’t\u00a0even been able to physically see his new London musical\u00a0The Devil Wears Prada.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the BBC<\/strong><\/a>, at a charity gala performance of the musical on Dec. 1’s\u00a0World AIDS Day, Elton said, “As some of you may know, I have had issues, and now I have lost my sight. I haven’t been able to see the performance but I have enjoyed listening to it.”<\/p>\n

Per the Daily Mail<\/strong><\/em>,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Elton also told the crowd that his husband,\u00a0David Furnish<\/strong>, has “been my rock because I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews,” adding, “It’s hard for me to see it, but I love to hear it and it sounded good tonight.”<\/p>\n

Elton told GMA <\/em>in November, “I can’t see anything. I can\u2019t read anything, I can’t watch anything,” and noted that his inability to see lyrics has put his new album on hold.<\/p>\n

The musical, based on the hit film of the same name, stars Vanessa Williams<\/strong> as fearsome fashion editor Miranda Priestly. The gala performance attracted stars like Lily Collins<\/strong>, Elizabeth Hurley<\/strong>, Donatella Versace<\/strong> and even Vogue<\/em> editor-in-chief\u00a0Anna Wintour<\/strong>, who reportedly inspired the character of Miranda.<\/p>\n
