Elton John posted some rare photos of his children to Instagram at the weekend. The special snaps showed his sons Zachary, eight, and Elijah, six, enjoying their time in Australia, where they travelled with their dad as part of his farewell world tour. Among the photos, fans had the chance to see glimpses of the young boys fishing, stroking a kangaroo, riding scooters, and enjoying surf lessons at Australia's Bondi Beach – each concentrating as they rode surfboards.

The pop superstar shares his two boys with husband David Furnish, who he married in 2010. The couple typically keeps their family out of the public eye and ask the press to respect their private life. In the caption to the photos, Elton thanked the Australian media for their courtesy and also paid tribute to his fans down under. The 72-year-old wrote: "The fans at every show have been AMAZING and the teams at all the local venues have been brilliant. Huge thanks to everyone at Bondi Nippers for teaching the boys about water safety and rescue."
