The news comes as a shock from the English star, who has always maintained that he didn’t want children because he travels too much.
Elton John revealed that a child has "stolen my heart," after meeting a boy during a visit to an orphanage in Ukraine. John and his partner, David Furnish, now want to adopt the 14-month-old, named Lev.
The singer explained, "Having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don’t know how we do that but he has stolen my heart." He added, "And he has stolen David’s heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home."
The 62-year-old star entertained the children with a performance of his song Circle of Life. The orphanage is filled with children who have lost their parents due to AIDS. Elton John has always been an activist in the fight against AIDS. Last year, he performed in Kiev. The Ukraine is the most affected country in Europe, regarding this terrible disease.
