Elton: 'I would like to have a daughter'
Tuesday, February 9 2016

Elton has spoken about his love of fatherhood and says he wished he had started his parental journey sooner - so that he could have had a daughter.

In an interview aired on Lorraine on February 8, 2016, he about his boys with affection. "I wish I had done it earlier," he said. "I'd like a little girl. Being away from my sons is hard. I'm going to stop travelling so much. It is about them. If you don't stop, what's the point in having children?"



Elton also talked about how he's keen to make sure his boys aren't spoilt, despite the family's wealth. "They don't wear designer clothes," he said. "They have a normal background, even though though we are privileged. So far, so good. They know daddy's a singer, but they are more into their torches and lego. They like Thunderbirds. They never ask to come on stage. They can sing Rocket Man and Bennie And The Jets, but Zachary's favourite song is Hotline Bling and Uptown Funk.

Elton also talked about their love of Disney. "They know I wrote the Lion King soundtrack but they're too young to watch it. The death of Mufasa is a little scary for them. I took them to Disneyland on December 23 [, 2015] and Zachary was too scared to go on the roller coasters. He took me on the teacups and I hate them. There are pictures of me with my head down."

Promoting his new album, Wonderful Crazy Night, he said his dancing days are over. "I don't dance. Not since the I'm Still Standing video. Arlene Phillips said I was the worst dancer she has ever worked with. I'm the happiest when I'm on stage. I'm singing really well and performing well. There's a lot of mileage on my voice. To still be improving on stage is a bonus."
