Last week Elton John announced that an infection has left him with "limited vision" in his right eye. Despite the setback, he was in Toronto this past weekend for the premiere of his documentary, Never Too Late, at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he provided an update on his recovery. "What's happened with my eye has been very distressing because I'm used to getting up in the morning looking at all the newspapers, looking at he charts, looking at everything -- how the world is doing creatively and I've lost that for the time being.
It's been seven weeks since I've been able to see out of this. But the prospect is good. I had a hell of a time with this right eye. It was a a hell of a bug that got into it. And sometimes I feel bad, but most of the time I feel grateful that I've still got it and I just have to be patient."
