Elton John was spotted leaving Maxfield in West Hollywood alongside his husband David Furnish and a bodyguard, as the legendary performer appeared to rely on support during a recent daytime outing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The 79-year-old singer<\/a> kept things casual for the shopping trip, wearing a tracksuit paired with his signature tinted glasses. As he made his way toward the car, he appeared to lean on Furnish, who stayed close by his side. The couple was also joined by assistants, who helped guide and support John as they exited the Hollywood<\/a> store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHe\u2019s great. He\u2019s battling on. He\u2019s keeping busy and moving forward,\u201d Furnish told Variety during an interview ahead of the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Furnish added that John has been focusing more on family life in recent months. \u201cHe\u2019s happy being at home as a family with our sons,\u201d he said, referring to their children, Zachary, 15, and Elijah, 13. \u201cThat\u2019s why he came off the road. We really love parenting, we love our family, and we love being together, and that\u2019s everything for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n John and Furnish have been together for decades, entering a civil union in 2005 before marrying in December 2014 on their ninth anniversary. They later welcomed their two sons<\/a> via surrogacy in 2010 and 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Furnish\u2019s comments follow a difficult period for John, who has been open about his health struggles. In November 2025, the singer revealed that losing sight in his right eye after an infection had significantly impacted his daily life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBecause I lost my right eye and my left eye\u2019s not so good, the last 15 months have been challenging for me because I haven\u2019t been able to see anything, watch anything, read anything,\u201d John said at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Your Song performer contracted the infection while vacationing in France in the summer of 2024, which affected both of his eyes. Despite the setback, he has remained optimistic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
