Renowned musician Elton John made a public appearance alongside singer Brandi Carlile to present an award for original film score. During the event, John addressed recent concerns about his eyesight, reassuring everyone that it is not as severe as rumored.

John humorously mentioned the speculation surrounding his eyesight issues, stating that despite reports of regressive eyesight, the situation is not as dire as portrayed. He playfully referred to Carlile as his cohost Rihanna, adding a light-hearted touch to his remarks.

In a previous interview, John disclosed that he had lost vision in his right eye due to an infection in the south of France. This loss of eyesight has persisted for four months, with his left eye also experiencing challenges.
