    ‘He shot out like a rocket,’ excited Elton told the magazine of baby Zachary’s birth. ‘There just aren't proper words to describe that feeling ever. It's indescribable. It was just, “We have a son”!’

    And the millionaire pop star is already taking his parental duties seriously, revealing he definitely won’t be spoiling his new son.

    Elton and David – who married in 2005 - also spoke of their heartbreak, after being denied permission to adopt 14-month-old Ukrainian baby Lev and his three-year old brother Artyom, in September last year.

    ‘We're still consulting about finding the best possible home for them,’ Elton revealed.
