Elton John celebrated his 73rd birthday in isolation with his family, sharing a heartwarming video of his sons Zachary, nine, and Elijah, seven, presenting him with a large birthday cake. The singer, known for lavish parties in the past, marked the occasion quietly at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In the Instagram video, Elton wore a blue and green tracksuit and his trademark red glasses as his boys stood before him with a three-tiered cake featuring white icing, raspberry trimmings, and the message 'Happy Birthday Daddy'. The singer wrote: 'Grateful for the best birthday ever with my family.'
Celebrity friends including Niall Horan, Charlie Puth, and DJ Fat Tony sent birthday wishes. Victoria Beckham also shared a sweet tribute and photo of the pair on a yacht. However, fans questioned why the cake appeared different from one previously mentioned in connection with Beckham, sparking curiosity.
Elton also posted photos of handmade cards from his sons, writing: 'Homemade cards are the best. Thank you boys!' The star has been enjoying quality time with his family during lockdown, revealing in an interview that they play Snakes and Ladders daily and that he is 'loving every second' of being with his children.
