Elton John brought his trademark humor to the 2025 Golden Globe Awards when he addressed rumors about his eyesight. During his time on stage with country music star Brandi Carlile, Elton joked about the persistent reports surrounding his vision, stating that the rumors were overblown and that his eyesight wasn’t as bad as people thought.
In a humorous moment, Elton claimed he was “so pleased to be here with my cohost, Rihanna,” which caused the audience to burst into laughter since Brandi Carlile and Rihanna look nothing alike.
Earlier in 2024, Elton had shared that he was recovering from a severe eye infection, which had severely limited his vision. While he was unable to see a musical premiere of The Devil Wears Prada and expressed some frustration about his career comeback being hindered, it seems he’s now ready to laugh about the situation, even as he continues to navigate life with his new vision challenges.
