\n\tStevie Wonder<\/a> had the perfect response to ongoing rumors that he is not actually blind. <\/p>\n \n\tDuring a show for his Love, Light and Song U.K. tour in Cardiff, Wales, the singer poked fun at the wild speculation and addressed the crowd: \u201cI must say to all of you, something that I was thinking, \u2018When did I want to let the world know this?\u2019 But I wanted to say it right now. You know there have been rumors about me seeing and all that? But seriously, you know the truth.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tHe continued: \u201cTruth is, shortly after my birth, I became blind. Now, that was a blessing because it\u2019s allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth, of sight. See people in the spirit of them, not how they look. Not what color they are, but what color is their spirit?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWonder has kept things lighthearted when discussing his blindness. During a 2015 appearance <\/a>on\u00a0The Late Show with David Letterman<\/em>, the musician listed a catalog of the best advantages of being blind including, \u201cYou can act like you don\u2019t see nothing when you really do\u201d and \u201cYou can say you didn\u2019t see that when you did.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHis optimism for life began early in his childhood. When discussing<\/a> his journey with journalist Wesley Morris and Barack Obama in 2024 for The Wonder of Stevie <\/em>podcast, Wonder said, \u201cI was born. Shortly after that, I\u2019m blind. My mother went through the different things, and so my experience with that was deep.\u201d<\/p>\n
