Elton John, 77, recently shared that becoming a father is his greatest achievement. He discussed his two sons, Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, during an interview on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, emphasizing the importance of family over his music career.

He expressed pride in being a gay parent and highlighted the joy of raising children despite societal challenges. In light of recent health issues, John acknowledged his sons' fears about his mortality. He reflected on his desire to witness their future milestones, such as marriage and children, while accepting that he may not be present for all of them.
