Elton John has expressed his sadness over missing the chance to watch his sons play sports, as an infection he suffered last summer has left him with vision problems.

“I can’t see TV, I can’t read. I can’t see my boys playing rugby and soccer,” the iconic singer told The Times. “It has been a very stressful time because I’m used to soaking it all up. It’s distressing.”

Last September, the singer wrote on Instagram that a “severe” infection had left him with “only limited vision” in one eye, adding that his recovery would “take time.”

Elton and his filmmaker husband David Furnish have two sons, Zachary and Elijah.

“You get emotional, but you have to get used to it, because I’m lucky to have the life I have,” he continued. “I still have my wonderful family, and I can still see something out of here.”

The singer, who just released a new album with Brandi Carlile, Who Believes in Angels?, added, “You say to yourself, just get on with it.”
