God bless you Sir Elton you gave me the soundtrack to my teenage years , and I’m born the same day……. Had great times on tour and a great band for all those years ….. Have a great Christmas you and your boys……
There just comes a time to retire and focus on your health and family. Elton has nothing to prove and has given the world so much. You don’t owe us anything.
So....what are WE seeing and hearing through. He's performing, "Your Song", then he's performing something that sounds like, "Sacrifice". ...and what happened/happens, and why is there not more video? Why does this just stop? Why haven't we heard anything about this?
Most of us would crumble simply being on a stage with that many people waiting for you to sing, but when _your own body_ refuses to let you do what you love most - what has endeared the entire world to you - it would be extremely difficult to ask yourself who you are without it.
Performers are all different. I'm assuming Elton needs to glance at the keys occasionally for reference. I sympathize because I've been using a computer keyboard since 1997 and still have to look at the keys. I have to turn a light on to type at night, yet I learn other things without a problem. People are not the same.
Andy, please expand on your comment because obviously you hold a strong opinion about Elton and his maker. Don't shy away, we can have a civil discussion.
If he didn't want to retire.....he could try learning to play withlut sight like Andrea Bocelli and others. But it would be a journey,.but is also aided with years of playing, so he probably doesn't really need to look anyway, he's just used to doing it.
You have to wonder. All the blind pianist do just fine and he has played this song a thousand times it seems like he would know the keyboard by heart 🙄
@strongchord4384 well I wear glasses my eyes aren't young and getting older but I can still understand that once you've been mind trained to use a keyboard it's no problem
I'm not a big fan of Elton I like some of his music sorry Elton I'm more of a Rod stewart fan... however I wish you well I hope this is just a temporary thing and you over come it..
This guy is so crap and overrated. Decades now he's been threatening to retire. Every time he plays anywhere it's heralded as some fucking farewell tour etc. He never actually goes away. It's pathetic.
@@angus1745 “It’s pathetic” As demonstrated by his recent farewell tour’s earnings which are only second to Taylor Swift Eras recent concerts. Not bad for a 77 year old. Obviously a lot of people don’t agree with you.
ty and ask keith richards about sir as well most all comments here are he's the best the greatest what a guy? had to scroll through all of the accolades about his greatness to get to a commenter I totally agree with since this is a dumpster fire in the making this is my first and last comment regarding sir ty very much
this brought a tear to my eye. Sir Elton has given us all so very much ! ! MAY GOD BLESS HIM ..Bob M
@@LoveLife-wy8gt thanks for watching and I I agree 💯👍
Elton is so loved..we want him better-worried about this great man...
Elton is a legend.. prayers for his recovery. Thanks for watching!
This breaks my heart. I know he's trying to be a trouper, but I wish he wouldn't perform and let that infection in his eye heal....Love you, Elton. 💖
he is a professional in every sense of the word ..and still can rock like a legend ❤️

Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas

He sounded incredible..I give him a ton of credit to push through a challenge in front of a huge crowd..that's why he is a living legend
He performs because entertainers LOVE to perform.
I'm an entertainer.
I understand this. 🙏

❤❤❤ Love You Sir Elton John
thank you for watching...I 👍💯

Lame excuse. Stevie Wonder couldn’t see his keyboard and he did just fine. 😎

Ray Charles couldn't see either.
Thumper knew to keep his mouth shut when he had nothing nice to say.
Here’s to a total lack of empathy towards you in your old age.
No kidding hes played this song for 700 years cant memorize it. Lame
My god, i worship Elton. 🥹❤️💖
We still Elton and have to understand that he is getting older.
@@MichaelJoelWorld ???
Bless him, Lord.
He could afford the best eye surgeons in the world. Yet he’s unfortunately ‘still’ in this situation. So sad.
It had to be personally horrifying to him.
Be well, and take care of yourself, old friend.
He was definitely frustrated..thanks for watching and hope your well
Sad to see this.
Sad..
🥺💔💔💔💔💔💔
Did this happen this week like from 10 the dec
This was filmed November 10 2024
@ Ty
Time to spend last period of his life thinking of what to say to the Lord
Andy, please expand on your comment because obviously you hold a strong opinion about Elton and his maker. Don't shy away, we can have a civil discussion.
Still sings great though!
Really !!!
Love to see him play but don't let it get to a point where you're embarrassing yourself cause you can't see!!
He's definitely working through it, but a pro and legend and he regrouped fast. Thanks for watching

Elton can play with his eyes closed, of course ...
He can but is human..a legend but human thanks for watching 🙏❤️
This is nuts.
Thanks for watching
He has nothing to prove - why not just let that be and gracefully accept it. Otherwise you might start to become tragic
We don't live forever folks...get over it..or you'll be talking to yourselves endlessly.
I wonder if it would if help he would take his sunglasses off..?????????????????????????????????????????????????
@@micheltremblay-m2y you never know..the stage lights were incredibly bright though
You have to wonder. All the blind pianist do just fine and he has played this song a thousand times it seems like he would know the keyboard by heart 🙄
Look at Steve wonder he's does it well
@@SteveThomas-p6i Stevie has been blind since being a kid. Do you not think a 77 year old would have a problem adapting at this stage?
@strongchord4384 no it's like riding a bike or driving a car once you've done it for years it's there
@@SteveThomas-p6i Well, hopefully neither one of us will ever need to find out whether your opinion is correct.
@strongchord4384 well I wear glasses my eyes aren't young and getting older but I can still understand that once you've been mind trained to use a keyboard it's no problem
Any one who has played a piano dosent need to see the keys its an instinct and done automatically look at Steve' wonder hes totally blind
Should of kept going. Sounded decent.
I thought he retired already
Why even post this? People have absolutely no common sense anymore.
his blind, hope he improves.. might b time to do something different.. they tell me growing tomato's is fun..
hes been making a lot of mistakes in the last couple of years. im really not convinced that not seeing the keyboard is the issue.
No one has said there was a keyboard issue. He's gone blind in one eye. Why is he performing? Why is there no explanation to all of these things?
Rick Wakeman always plays with his eyes closed.
I'm not a big fan of Elton I like some of his music sorry Elton I'm more of a Rod stewart fan... however I wish you well I hope this is just a temporary thing and you over come it..
Thanks for watching..Rod is a great musician and entertainer also
Can’t see can’t play can’t sing either
Enough about you.
Cheap
This guy is so crap and overrated. Decades now he's been threatening to retire. Every time he plays anywhere it's heralded as some fucking farewell tour etc. He never actually goes away. It's pathetic.
He has completely retired from touring now. TOURING, is this a tour? No, he’s still doing one off performances and stuff as he is still Elton John

I bet you never heard one note outside of the obvious hits. Your loss.
