Singer Elton John has been left with "only limited vision” after a "severe eye infection."

The 77-year-old revealed he was healing from the infection in one eye, but said his recovery would take "some time.”

In a post on Instagram, John said: "Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye.

"I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.

"I am so 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 so far.”

Numerous stars replied to the post wishing the singer well, including fashion designer Donatella Versace, radio presenter Bob Harris and actor Layton Williams.

Versace said: "Take your time and recover, Elton. We’ll be here waiting for your return when you’re healthy and ready.”

Harris added: "Sending you much love Elton.”

It comes after it was announced that John’s documentary film Elton John: Never Too Late, would have its European premiere at this year’s BFI London Film Festival. – dpa
