Talking about how their sons cope with their famous father being the iconic Elton John, David said they are ‘quite grounded’.
He said: ‘It is daddy up on stage. They are very proud of him obviously and they love his songs but when he comes home he leaves Elton John behind.
‘It is always very much daddy’s work and that’s what he does but he doesn’t bring it into the household and he doesn’t talk about it in any kind of glorified way. They seem to be quite grounded about it and I hope that continues to last.’
