SIR Elton John has said his young son Zachary is showing his own musical talent and is already getting used to the stage.

The star, who is expected to score a number one album this weekend, said the youngster “plays” the piano, rather than simply bashing the keys.

Sir Elton said 19-month-old Zachary has still to see him play live, but the star told ITV1’s Daybreak he has seen footage of him in concert playing outside Buckingham Palace. “He loves the piano, he sits down and plays it - he doesn’t just bang it, he plays it like I play it.

“He’s never seen a show, he’s too young. But he comes out when the stadium is empty and sits down on the piano stool with me and he plays.”

Sir Elton also told how he and partner David Furnish would like another child at some point.
