During his latest public appearance at the charity gala performance of his musical, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, on Sunday night, the veteran shared that he was not able to enjoy the performance as he has lost his eyesight completely now.

Addressing the audience at the Dominion Theatre in London, he said, “As some of you may know, I have had issues and now I have lost my sight. I haven’t been able to see the performance, but I have enjoyed listening to it.”

“I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews, as you know, I’ve lost my eyesight, so it’s hard for me to see them, but I love to hear them,” added the veteran. “And, boy, it sounded good tonight! OK! Thank you for coming!”
