British composer and singer Elton John said he could not complete work on a new album due to partial vision loss. This is reported by the BBC.

According to the musician, the health problems arose after an infection in July. He has not been able to see in his right eye for four months, and the situation with his left eye is not much better.

According to the 77-year-old Sir Elton John, he is undergoing treatment and ‘there is hope and confidence that everything will be fine’. However, he is still unable to work and create music.

‘I can do something like this (give an interview - ed.), but to go into the studio and record a song... I can't even see the lyrics,’ the musician said, adding that he ’can't see anything, can't read anything, can't watch anything.’

Work on the new album, according to the artist, ‘has stalled a bit at the moment’.

About three months ago, Elton John told his fans that he had suffered a serious infection.

In November 2023, the musician said at a ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that he and lyricist Bernie Taupin had ‘just finished’ working on a new album.

The musician's last studio album was released in 2016.

Elton John has won five Grammy Awards. He has given almost 4,600 concerts in different countries.
