Elton John has been unable to see out of his right eye for the past four months after an eye infection in July. The medical incident, which took place in the south of France, left the iconic singer unsure whether or not he could return to the studio.

“It’s been four months now since I’ve lost my vision, and my left eye isn’t the best,” John said during an interview with “Good Morning America.”

“There’s hope and encouragement that it will work out, but I’m a little bit stuck at the moment because I could do something like this, but when I go into the studio and record, I don’t know,” John continued, revealing that he can’t see the text at the moment. “It floored me a bit. I can’t see anything. I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.”

In September, the “I’m Still Standing” singer revealed he was partially blinded by what he called a “serious eye infection.” “I am healing but it is an extremely slow process and it will take some time for vision to return to the affected eye,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.

On “Good Morning America,” John said he and his team are still focused on his recovery. “It’s never luck that something like this can happen,” John said.

Despite his medical issues, John was largely optimistic during his ABC interview Monday morning. He stopped by the show to promote his documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late,” which was directed by “The War Room” director RJ Cutler, as well as John’s husband, David Furnish. In the interview, John said he was proud of the documentary, his sons and his “attitude towards myself” during this difficult time in his life.

“I am the luckiest man in the world,” the Grammy-winning legend concluded. Watch the interview above.
