Sir Elton John performed in Sweden on Saturday night, marking the end of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

Unsurprisingly, the talented musician, 76, was joined by his husband David Furnish and their two sons, Zachary and Elijah.

Taking to Instagram, David, 60, posted a wholesome behind-the-scenes video of the family trio waving at the music legend as he concluded his performance. Elijah, 10, and Zachary, 12, looked so grown up in the video as they sweetly supported their famous dad.

For the bittersweet occasion, Elijah and Zachary opted to wear matching white T-shirts and coordinating blue trousers.

David, meanwhile, looked every inch the proud husband as he waved enthusiastically from the sidelines. The Canadian filmmaker looked his usual dapper self in a pair of smart white trousers, a suave grey jacket and a crisp white shirt.

"And off he goes… One final trip down the Yellow Brick Road," David gushed in his caption.

Bursting with pride, he continued: "330 shows under his belt. Finally off the road and into the sunset. So excited for the next chapter together. We love you Daddy."

Overcome with emotion, a third commented: "What an emotional moment. Thank you Elton for all the shows over the years and all the music. Enjoy your family time and we have a lifetime of fantastic musical memories," and a fourth added: "Omg this is so bittersweet. I love you Elton, so much. Enjoy your new life with the boys."

It’s been an incredibly exciting time for Elton and his family. Back in June, the expanding brood welcomed a new furry addition - a pet pooch called Jacob.

Taking to Instagram on Father's Day, David posted an adorable photograph of their tiny black Labrador puppy. In the caption, he penned: "This Father's Day, we are happy to announce the newest arrival to the Furnish-John family. Please meet Jacob.
