Elton John fears son will have difficult childhood

Singer Elton John feels that his son Zachary with partner David Furnish is going to face a very difficult childhood where he would have to fight against homophobia and his parents` fame.

London: Singer Elton John feels that his son Zachary with partner David Furnish is going to face a very difficult childhood where he would have to fight against homophobia and his parents` fame.
The 65-year-old star and his civil partner David Furnish, 49, became parents on Christmas Day 2010 to a child conceived using a donor egg and born via surrogate, the Daily Mail reported.
John fears his child will struggle with bullies because he works in showbusiness and because he doesn`t "have a mummy". "Being the child of someone famous is a huge ball and chain around your ankles. It`s going to be very difficult," the musician told Radio Times. "At school other children will say, `You don`t have a mummy`. We`ve come a long way, but there`s still homophobia and will be until a new generation of parents don`t instill it in their children," he said, adding Zachary calls him `daddy` and Furnish `papa`. John wants music to be a big part of his son`s life but would not push him into showbiz. PTI
