Elton wants kids

Elton John told GMTV he would like children, but at 58 feels too old and says his lifestyle makes it unsuitable.

Elton John has told GMTV that he would like to have children, but that he's now too old at 58. "I probably would [be a great dad]," he said "David and I have talked about adopting but... I don't want to be 80 years old when my kids are 20. I don't want to be worrying about them doing crack. It's an incredibly difficult decision, because to have a child and raise it properly is the most responsible thing anyone has to do. Because of my lifestyle, travelling around all the time, I don't think it's the best environment to bring a kid up in." And amen to that, frankly.
