Elton John and his husband David Furnish are parents to son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, 8, and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, 6. Lady Gaga, who is a good friend of Elton, is his son's godmother and the kids call the 'Shallow' singer 'Gagamother'.

However, Elton says his sons are grounded and that he hasn't spoiled them. He added that the kids know their father is famous but don't understand why people want pictures with him or his autographs.
