Elton and David have decided to chose one huge Elton fan as godparent for their son Zachary.

For those of you that are still in the process of preparing their application ... this was of course an April fool's joke (as many fans have already figured themselves).

There has been a lot of speculation since Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born on Christmas Day 2010 about who will be his godmother or godfather. Elizabeth Hurley was brought up as a potential candidate as was Lady Gaga. Most of these reports were denied by Elton and David.

Now Hercules has been informed that Elton and David plan to pick a number of godparents and one of them could be you! Besides members of their families and celebrity friends, an ordinary representative of Elton's fandom shall also join the list. And Hercules has been asked to help find the one!

Here's what you have to do: Send your application (max. 3,500 characters) and a picture of yourself (JPEG, max. 100 kByte) to godparent@eltonfan.net. Make sure to persuade Elton and David why you should be the one to join their inner circle in being a godparent of their son. Express yourself in both your written application as well as in your photo. The deadline for sending your material is April 15, 2011.

Hercules will forward all the material received by that date to Elton and David. The couple plans to make a final decision by the end of May 2011 when Elton returns to touring Europe.
