Elton John, Partner are Parents of Baby Boy
Elton John and David Furnish are parents of a new baby boy, born on Christmas in California to a surrogate. In a joint statement, the new parents told USMagazine.com that “Zachary is healthy and doing well” and said they are “overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment.” Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John weighed in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces. John, 62, and Furnish, 48, a couple for 17 years, have been in a civil partnership since 2005. The identity of the surrogate and details of the surrogacy are being kept private, the couple said. John’s song “Levon” was released in 1971, on his fourth album, “Madman Across the Water,” which also included the classic “Tiny Dancer.” Video of the pop star performing “Levon” for his 60th birthday is above; the original recording is embedded below.

Many don’t know much about their situation. ELTON and David should find a well rounded woman to influence the boy’s life. All children need maternal and paternal influences. Men (gay or not) simply do not have the maternal instincts that woman do and vice versa.
