Elton John revealed he has lost his eyesight after his battle with a “severe” infection.

The iconic musician, 77, made the shocking confession on Sunday night while addressing guests at Dominion Theatre in London’s West End following “The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical” charity gala night performance.

“As some of you may know, I have had issues and now I have lost my sight. I haven’t been able to see the performance, but I have enjoyed listening to it,” John told the crowd, per the BBC.

The Grammy winner also credited his husband, David Furnish, for helping him throughout the ordeal.

“To my husband, who’s been my rock, because I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews because as you know, I’ve lost my eyesight, so it’s hard for me to see it, but I love to hear it,” John continued, per a video posted on TikTok.

“And, boy, it sounded good tonight! OK! Thank you for coming!”

John wrote the original score for “The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical,” which stars Tony nominee Vanessa Williams in the role of Miranda Priestly.

Sunday night’s charity event performance attracted a star-studded audience, including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Lily Collins and Elizabeth Hurley.

The “Rocket Man” singer previously addressed his eyesight in early September, revealing he only had “limited vision in one eye” after dealing with a “severe eye infection” over the summer.

“I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye,” John wrote in a statement at the time.

“There’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK, but I’m kind of stuck at the moment,” he elaborated in a “GMA” interview last week. Greg Allen/Invision/AP
