"He didn't confirm if it was a girl or a boy,” the fan told the U.K. newspaper. “He was conscious of the clock and made sure he was off stage by just approaching 9 p.m. as he 'needed to get down the f***ing M21 as my girlfriend has just had a baby.'"

The newspaper also reported that the baby arrived last week and that a fan had congratulated the entertainer on a “baby girl.”
