Unfortunately, I missed out on the SDE of Diamonds. So, my other EJ surround discs will have to do for now.

I’ve seen reports saying EJ has gone blind, wondering if it’s true?

you know as much as i do Mister P. apparently he suffered an eye infection while vacationing this Summer in the South of France and sadly his condition's said to have worsened to the point his vision's severely diminished in one eye!?

what i will say is, it is a borderline miracle he is still with us, not least the punishing touring etc of his ridiculously full-on career, he has had numerous health issues for quite some time now, a pacemaker in his 40's (not pointing fingers etc but all the years of high level substance use can't have helped ) Type 2 Diabetes for the last 20 or so years, both knees replaced and an artificial hip, a couple of life-threatening episodes including a dreadful viral condition that nearly killed him while on a flight, acute appendicitis.. and after some cosmetic and laser eye surgery he had all manner of very apparent issues with his eyes, he went kinda saggy and bug-eyed for a while and in interviews etc his eyes would become very watery and tear up a lot

ahh.. poor fella, let's hope he turns the corner and makes it through ok

Yeah for sure. But many of us have been through a lot of health issues as well. All you can do is keep on keepin' on.
Hope he heals up fine! He's given us a lot.
