A 77 year old pop star broke the news to
a London audience to the performance of The Devil Wears
Prada on Sunday.
CN NS Elizabeth Wag Meister reports Sir Elton John making
a surprise announcement on stage at a gala performance of
The Devil Wears Prada in London.
I've lost my eyesight so it's hard for me to
see it, but I'd love to hear it.
The 77 year old pop superstar wrote the sport of
the show and thanked his husband David Furnish for his
support during his months long battle with a severe eye
infection.
And to my husband, who's been my rock because I
haven't been able to come to many of the previews.
He first spoke publicly about his site in an Instagram
post three months ago, saying he was dealing with a
severe eye infection.
That has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in
one eye.
And in an interview last week, the icon said his
eye issues have interfered with his ability to work.
I'm kind of stuck in the moment because I can
do something like this, but going into the studio and
recording, I don't know because I can't see a lyric.
For start, I'm still.
The music legend retired last year after decades of live
concerts, performing in more than 300 shows alone during his
Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Then the pop star joined President Biden in New York
during the summer.
Thank you, Mr.
President, to mark the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall riots
that helped launch the modern gay rights movement.
Let's have some music.
It does bring us together.
Two years after the president presented him with the National
Humanities Medal during a concert at the White House to
celebrate his talent and his advocacy in the global fight
against HIV and AIDS, the pop legend's presence on stage
at the Devil Wears Prada gala was cheered on Sunday
night after talking about his health challenges and then praising
the musical's performers.
Boy is sadly good tonight, OK?
