If Sir Elton John wants to spend more time with his children, then there's a simple way to do it, says Sharon Griffiths.
Sir Elton John, who is 70 and probably has more money than even he knows what to do with, announced this week that he wants to spend more time with his children, Zachary, seven, and five-year-old Elijah.
Then, at the same time, he reveals plans for a three-year world tour that involves 300 concerts in five continents, by which time he'll be 73 and probably shattered.
I wish him a long and happy life but if he's really serious about spending time with his children, maybe sooner rather than later would be a good place to start.
