Elton John Struggles With Health Issues But Refuses to Show Weakness

Elton John is grappling with an unexpected health crisis that has left fans in disbelief. Insider sources reveal to Closer that the iconic “Rocket Man” singer, now 77, is struggling to walk and has taken extreme steps to keep his health concerns under wraps.

During a recent appearance on the red carpet, Elton surprised onlookers by arriving in a specially designed purple golf cart. This choice, according to insiders, was made to conceal the pop star’s increasing dependence on a wheelchair.

“Elton is adamant about not appearing frail,” an insider shares. “He is fiercely committed to upholding his grand persona — but the reality is he needs assistance to move.”

Compounding the situation for the “Your Song” superstar is a severe infection that has left him nearly blind in one eye. “Often, he isn’t even sure where he is,” says another source. “That’s why the golf cart is a practical solution — it helps mask the reality from prying eyes.”

The source continues, “Elton’s priority is now about preserving his legacy. He’s determined to dictate the story of his life as a musician, spouse, and father before anyone else can do it for him.”
