The outing comes following reports on Friday that the musical biopic based on Elton’s life – set to star Taron Egerton in the titular role – has been pushed back to May 31, 2019.

Sir Elton recently claimed he is staying true to his working class roots when he brings up his two children with his husband.

The rocker, who has an estimated net worth of $450 million, told OK! magazine he is instilling the same values he was brought up with into their upbringing.

While Elton recognises being wealthy will have ‘advantages’ for bringing up his brood, he said values such as working for what you have is really important.

He explained to the magazine: ‘They come from a well-off background, which will afford its own advantages.

‘I came from a very working class background where I had to work for everything I got, and I want to instill those same values in them. But it’s harder growing up in this world and David and I are very mindful of that.’

‘They’re fantastic young boys, they have good hearts and compassionate, kind personalities.’
