Kenneth alias Elton John has to fight against problems in his vision. The 77-year-old singer has blindness in her right eye.

Even so, the Your Song' singer said that the urge to continue to be creative is still as strong as before.

Reflecting on his latest projects and the break time taken since retiring from the tour, Elton confirmed that he would still present new musical works in the future.

"You guys will get more (music)," Elton John told the audience, as guests in the latest episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

My spirit never runs out. They never want to run out, because I always want to create something. Now I have time to do it in my own time. Of course there will be new Elton John music," he continued.

Furthermore, he also talked about his show at Apple Music, Elton John's Rocker Hour, which supports newcomer artists such as Chappell Rosan.

"When I first heard (Roan), I think I was the first to play the 'Pinkfact Club'. I interviewed him, and then we became friends," he said. These young artists have so much energy, they are so great. And if I can help them in any way to move forward, I will.

On the other hand, Elton also remembers the artists who formed his career. Ray Charles touched my heart. Little Richard touched my heart. Elvis Presley changed my life with a Heartbreak Hotel. When I first heard the recording, I knew I wanted to do this.

For information, John gave the latest news about his eye condition, which has been recognized since last summer for infection, resulting in impaired vision.

"Unfortunately, I lost sight of my right eye in July, because I had an infection in South France. And it's been four months since I couldn't see. My left eye is not at its best," he said.

John said he had taken the initiative to address the vision problem, including for music activities. However, his lack of vision has limited what he can and cannot do.

"I can do something like this (interview), but go into the studio and do the recording, I don't know," he said.

"Because I can't see the lyrics. It hit me. And I can't see anything. I can't read anything, I can't watch anything," he concluded.
