Welcome To The Stay-At-Home Club: Elton John Giving Up Career For Babies
“I don’t want to miss part of his childhood,” John said of his 2-year-old son, Zachary, born to him and his partner David Furnish via a surrogate mother. For now, he says that he will continue to work, but when Zachary goes to school, he’ll reconsider his options.
It seems a little curious that a man with a flexible-ish work schedule and a very generous salary to raise a child on would leave something he evidently loves. Now at the end of his very notable career, perhaps the “Bennie and the Jets” singer wishes to prioritize a more family-centric kind of life. Perhaps he and his partner’s talk of having another child means that Elton needs to hold back on the recording studio for awhile. Two children and a world-touring husband can certainly put a strain on any couple with young kids.
At the age of 66, maybe it is time for Elton John to retire and become a family man.
