Elton John has been flooded with well-wishes after speaking about his health issues.
Taking to Instagram, the musician informed fans that he’s recovering slowly from a severe eye infection, which has left him with limited sight in one eye.
‘Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,’ he began.
‘I am healing but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.’
The 77-year-old continued: ‘I am 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.
‘I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.’
Elton concluded: ‘With love and gratitude, Elton John.’
Designer Donatella Versace quickly sent a positive message to Elton: ‘Sending you so much love Elton! Feel better soon. Love you.’
While Westlife star Brian McFadden simply left a string of heart emojis on the post.
Singer T.J. Osbourne wrote: ‘Take your time and recover, Elton. We’ll be here waiting for your return when you’re healthy and ready ;).’ Fellow musician Spencer Sutherland said: ‘I Love you Elton.’
‘Get well soon! We all love you,’ typed account Vradhihi.
Mellyora Black added: ‘Get well soon, Sir! Take all the time you need to heal.’
