Elton John and David Furnish's teenage sons, Zachary and Elijah, looked so grown up as they joined their dads to celebrate David's 64th birthday in Venice, Italy.
The family of four were dressed to the nines for the big bash, which welcomed guests like Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz and Damian Hurley.
Partway through the lavish event, which was held at the 79-year-old's new bar, Elton's Club, Zachary and Elijah were seen pushing a trolley, upon which sat a giant chocolate cake decorated with candles.

Zachary, 15, and Elijah, 13, stood beside David as the crowd sang "Happy birthday" and he blew the candles out on his cake.
Later in the night, Elton performed for his husband at the venue, which is located near the couple's home in Venice.
Elton John and David Furnish's journey to fatherhood

"If you'd had said to me 10 years ago I'd be sitting on your show, married to the man I love, and have two beautiful children, I would have said, 'You put acid in my drink,'" Elton shared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016.
"Life throws you curveballs – great curveballs – and these two children have come along at a time I never thought I'd have children. There are no words to describe how much we love these boys. They're just amazing."
Elton John's stance on being an older dad
The "Rocketman" singer has been open about the realities of being an older dad, after welcoming Zachary at 63 and Elijah at 65. "They think about my mortality. They worry about my mortality," he said in the 2024 film Elton John: Never Too Late. "[They] love their daddy, so they want me to be around forever, [and] I would love to be around forever."

Elton decided to take a step back from touring after becoming a dad in order to spend as much time as possible with the boys.

"[It's] why I came off the road, to be able to spend the latter part of my life being there for them."
"For all the other people out there who are gay and have their own children, it's the greatest gift you could possibly have. I've never had a better gift in my life, and I wouldn't swap it for anything," he concluded.
