Elton John, the iconic musician, wholeheartedly embraces his role as an older father, calling it the "greatest thing I've ever done." Together with his husband, David Furnish, John shares two sons, Zachary (13) and Elijah (11). The singer, now 77, expressed these heartfelt sentiments during an interview on Radio Andy on November 14, while promoting "Tammy Faye" on Broadway, PEOPLE reported.

Reflecting on his evolution into parenthood later in life, John resonates deeply with this experience, similar to interviewer Andy Cohen's journey. While lauding the unique significance fatherhood holds over his stellar career, John asserts that his sons and Furnish remain his foremost priorities. This commitment majorly influenced his decision to stop touring, so he could dedicate his later years to being present for his family.

Open about the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ parents, John stresses the importance of recognizing these families' successes. He confidently states that raising children as a gay person should be encouraged and supported.

Echoing these sentiments, John's friend and fellow dad, Anderson Cooper, is also mentioned, reinforcing the perspective that fatherhood's true gift outweighs any of life's other riches. Photographing precious family moments at events like the 23rd Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party portrays the closeness and pride John holds for his family.

In conjunction with the documentary "Elton John: Never Too Late," a poignant narrative is shared about John's children worrying about his health due to his age – fears amplified at its Toronto International Film Festival premiere. While contemplating mortality brings anxiety to Furnish, 62, he praises John's impressive resilience. Recognizing Elton's strength, robustness, and unwavering spirit – traits seen in his ability to power through life's challenges – Furnish believes John might very well outlive him.
