Elton John has spoken of his "indescribable" joy following the birth of his son and how he promises not to "spoil" him.
John and partner David Furnish became parents to Zachary Jackson Levon on Christmas Day through a surrogate mother.
In an interview with OK magazine, the singer confirmed that he was present at the birth and said: "He shot out like a rocket. There just aren't proper words to describe that feeling.
"It's indescribable. It was just, 'We have a son!'"
The 63-year-old went on to insist that despite his wealth, he would not "spoil" his new child.
He added: "I'm ready to have a child and lavish my love on our son and not spoil him."
