"I love the smell of nappies," said the Rocket Man singer, whose son with his partner David Furnish was born on Christmas Day via a surrogate. "Fatherhood is fantastic," he added. 'It's been the most wonderful thing that's happened to me after meeting David." The star said being a dad is "surprisingly relaxing", adding: "This little soul that you're feeding, changing, bathing and telling bedtime stories to is a blank canvas. "And all it needs is love and nurturing. When he gets to talking and running around, I will probably feel a little different." Elton opened up about fatherhood just before the LA premiere of Gnomeo & Juliet, the animated film he has executively produced with David.
