Stevie Wonder Responds to Rumors That He Can See

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Stevie Wonder has finally spoken out about the rumors that he can see. This came as the Motown-bred singer was holding his "Love, Light and Song" tour in Cardiff, Wales, on July 9.

In a fan-recorded video posted on social media, Wonder, who was seen greeting the audience in Cardiff cheerfully, then spoke about the rumors that were widely discussed on the internet.

"I have to say to all of you, something I've been thinking, 'When do I want to tell the world?' But I want to say it right now," Stevie Wonder said.

"You know there are rumors about me being able to see and all that," Stevie continued to laughter from the audience. "But seriously, you know the truth."

The 25 Grammy winner went on to explain how her eyesight disappeared shortly after her birth.

"Actually, shortly after birth, I became blind. Well, that was a blessing because it allowed me to see the world in a vision of truth," Stevie says.

"Seeing people in their souls, not how they look. Not the color of their skin, but what color their soul is," he added, to shouts and applause from the audience.

Meanwhile, the rumor about Stevie Wonder being able to see was discussed by many people on the internet. They base their arguments on the statements of several celebrities, such as Lionel Richie, who joked in a 2019 interview on "The Kelly Clarkson Show", stating that he believed Wonder could see.

"I've spent my whole life with him thinking that he can see. I know he can see," Richir said. "I went to his house. He said, 'Want to hear a new song? I have it in the car. Come with me.'"

Richie says Wonder got in the driver's seat and suddenly started driving back up the driveway. "And I yelled, 'Stevie! What are you doing?' And he said, 'Ah, got it, huh?'"

Despite the rumors, Wonder always responded with a great sense of humor, which only made people laugh and like his personality even more.
