Responding to the comment, \u201cNice to see even Elton\u2019s oven needs cleaning before Christmas. My oven glass needs an oven doctor too\u201d, the 78-year-old singer posted a clip of himself scrubbing inside the oven with a pair of pink cleaning gloves.<\/p>\n
He wrote: \u201cDon\u2019t think your comments go unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n
John lost the sight in his right eye after contracting an infection in France last year and admits it has been a \u201cchallenging\u201d period since.<\/p>\n
The Sacrifice artist told Variety: \u201cIt\u2019s been devastating. Because I lost my right eye and my left eye\u2019s not so good, the last 15 months have been challenging for me because I haven\u2019t been able to see anything, watch anything, read anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had the most incredible life, and there is hope. I\u2019ve just gotta be patient that someday science will help me with this one. Once they help me with this one, I\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s exactly like the Aids situation. You mustn\u2019t give up hope, you must be stoic, you must be strong and you must always try and batter the door down to try and improve things.\u201d<\/p>\n
John\u2019s husband David Furnish is optimistic a scientific breakthrough could be beneficial for the star.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been doing some treatments and there\u2019s been some improvements in his left eye, which is really good, and we\u2019re continuing to explore and getting a lot of outreach from a lot of doctors who want to help and support. Because there\u2019s damage to the retina in his right eye, retinas don\u2019t heal naturally, so it\u2019s an area of emerging science.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut things are changing really quickly. What AI is doing for medicine and science alone is astonishing. And there\u2019s all kinds of interesting new theories and breakthroughs, and they can process the data and do the trials a lot more quickly than they could before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Responding to the comment, \u201cNice to see even Elton\u2019s oven needs cleaning before Christmas.
