1. > “I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the south of France. And it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. And my left eye’s not the greatest.”

   > However, he remains optimistic, adding, “So, there’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK. But I’m kind of stuck in the moment because I can do something like this [the interview], but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know. Because I can’t see, a lyric for start.

2. I feel like I’ve been hearing about dude’s “retirement” for 5 years now. Now he’s talking about going into the studio?

   EDIT: thanks to everyone for the clarification!

3. Can’t see straight

4. There’s lots of music already. You’ve done enough. Just enjoy life

5. Who farted on his pillow

6. This explains why he was MIA during rewrites of his Broadway show Tammy Faye

7. He’s not sure if he can go on like that

8. He’s almost 80 and rich af, he should just fully retire… why does he stress out about going back to the studio?? I’m less than half his age and would die to be that rich and just do nothing…

9. Stevie Wonder: “What?”

10. Wait don’t he just play a song at Disneyland for the Christmas special, but he can’t play in a studio?

11. Didn’t he retire tho?

12. Why did I think he was already blind
