Speaking to The Mirror, he explained: "I've learned that the simplest things in life, like having a minute with them, are worth more than any painting, any photograph, any house or hit record.
"Before we had the children we just had our lives and we would spend money because we didn't have anything else to focus on."

He continued: "We have really toned things down because we have enough stuff. There is nothing else we need."
In a previous interview on the Today show in 2016, Elton reflected on his decision to become a parent. "That was the greatest decision I've made — well — we've made, in the last six years, is to have those boys," the proud dad explained.

"They're our primary concern. They're the things that come first and foremost."
Elton and David started dating in 1993, before going on to form a civil partnership in December 2005 at the Windsor Guildhall.
They formally converted their partnership into marriage exactly nine years later in 2014, again in Windsor. The ceremony was attended by guests including David and Victoria Beckham, Ed Sheeran and David Walliams.
