Overview
The 63-year-old has told how he wants his seven-week-old son to have a normal upbringing.
Born by surrogate mother to Elton and his partner David Furnish, 48, in California on Christmas Day, Zachary is already a star.
But the Rocket Man singer, who grew up in London in a working class family, wants to pass on his roots to his child.
According to Saga magazine he said: 'I so value my own childhood now, and the sense of wonder and personal discovery that I enjoyed, that we want to give Zachary, as much as we possibly can, the same thing. A solid old-fashioned childhood, if you like.
'I know it'll be hard with my life, but we want him to have that same normality and for things in life to have real value. So we don't intend to spoil him - we're going to try to give him a fun, carefree time of innocence, freedom, love and stability.'
