Sir Elton John once again made headlines at this year’s Golden Globes after poking fun at his current health problems.
Ahead of the event, the legendary musician confirmed his attendance as one of the official hosts, alongside Brandi Carlile.
This attracted a lot of attention because it would also be his first public appearance after he confessed that he lost his eyesight.
Sir Elton detailed that he now has limited vision after a serious eye infection caused him to lose sight in his right eye.
He announced the news via Instagram last September.
But in this event, he proved that the only thing that was lackluster was his vision, not his solid sense of humor.
Elton John joked: “There have been a lot of stories going around about my deteriorating eyesight. I just want to reassure everyone: It’s not as bad as it looks, so I’m happy to be here with my co-host, Rihanna.” he introduced Brandi Carlile.

While the joke entertained A-list celebrities in the crowd, Carlile kept the momentum going by handing out prizes Challengers Composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
