SIR Elton John’s eyesight has deteriorated so badly he is signing autographs only his first initial E, plus a kiss.
Fans were warned the I’m Still Standing singer, 77, had to “simplify” his signature on £24.99 limited edition sets of his new album.

Sir Elton said in November he feared his failing sight may prevent him finishing Who Believes In Angels?
But the collaboration with Brandi Carlile is now due for release on April 4.
The pop legend lost vision in his right eye in July after contracting an infection on holiday in the South of France, and admitted his left eye is “not the greatest”.
In December he said he was unable to watch his new musical version of The Devil Wears Prada.
He added: “I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews because, as you know, I have lost my eyesight.
“But I love to hear it.”
And interviewed on Good Morning America he said. “It kind of floored me, and I can’t see anything.
“I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.”
“I can do something like this [interview] but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know, because I can’t see a lyric for start.”
