Despite struggling with his eyesight, Elton John delivered humorous remarks at the 2025 Golden Globes. The singer reassured fans that his vision isn't as dire as reported, lightheartedly acknowledging the widespread attention given to his recent health update.
Elton John may be struggling with his eyesight, but he's still got jokes. 'I don’t know if you know, but there’s been a lot of stories going on around about my recursive eyesight,” John, 77, said when taking the 2025 Golden Globes stage on Sunday, January 5. “I just wanted to reassure everybody that it’s not as bad as it seems.” The legendary singer took the stage alongside Brandi Carlile to present the award for Best Original Score, Motion Picture.
(Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross took home the win for Challengers.) “I’m so pleased to be here with my cohost, Rihanna,” John continued, motioning toward Carlile, 43, who held back laughter before presenting the award. John first revealed his health issue in a September 2024 Instagram statement. He offered more details during a November 2024 interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, explaining that he had lost sight in his right eye following an illness. Brandi Carlile and Elton John at the 2025 Golden Globes “I had an infection in the South of France. It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see, and my left eye’s not the greatest,” the musician said, noting that there’s “hope and encouragement” he will eventually be able to see. “I’m kind of stuck in the moment,” John explained, admitting he’s unsure whether recording music is possible at the moment.

We’re taking an initiative to try and get it better, but at the moment, that’s really what we’re concentrating on,” he continued. “It’s never fortunate for anything like this to happen. It kinda floored me, and I can’t see anything. I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anythin
