Sir Elton John and civil partner David Furnish have raised concerns that their son will face 'stigma' at school.

The couple, who are the proud parents to 13-month old Zachary, have reached out to counsellors to prepare them for the issues their son may have to face because of his two famous fathers.

Sir Elton told Attitude Magazine, "We're going to have challenges, of course we are but we talked about that before we had him."

David added, "He's going to be potentially doubly stigmatised, because one of his parents is extremely famous and because he comes from two dads."

“We've taken advice from counsellors. We've put a whole scrapbook together about his creation, the people who were involved in the process and how the intent was about love.”

Sir Elton also spoke of the joy parenthood has given the pair.

“I can't tell you how brilliant this year has been and how much love he's brought us and how much we're getting,” he said.

Sir Elton continued, “We thought that the civil partnership brought us together, but having a child has been magnificent, and I never thought I would have a kid.

“I don't feel 65, which I will be next year. Now, having a kid there's so much more to do. There's so much more I want to see happen before I die.”
