Los Angeles: Sir Elton John is holding close a new tiny dancer.
The piano man and partner David Furnish have become parents to a 7-pound, 15-ounce (3.6-kilogram) baby boy born on Christmas Day. The news was first reported Monday night by USMagazine.com and confirmed to The Associated Press by John's Los Angeles-based publicist.
