Sir Elton John has filled fans with envy as he shared a photo from a star-studded dinner party with music and TV stars.
The 75-year-old took to social media to share the snap as he beamed alongside his husband David Furnish, 60, and their famous friends.
Sir Elton is sat next to his recent collaborator on number one hit Cold Heart, Dua Lipa, in the image with Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears and singer Sam Fender also surrounding the pop legend.
Record producer Andrew Watt – who worked on Sir Elton’s Lockdown Sessions album in 2021 – puts his arm around the star, who is currently on his farewell tour.
Joining the musicians for the meal were the stars of the hit Netflix show Heartstopper, Kit Connor, William Gao and Sebastian Croft.
Kit, 18, won rave reviews when he played a young Sir Elton in the biopic of his life, Rocketman, in 2019.

The musician congratulated the cast of the show on the success of the series back in October, tweeting: ‘Congratulations to the whole #Heartstopper team, especially Kit Connor who played young me in Rocketman (you’re a star), on your win at last nights @AttitudeMag #AttitudeAwards!
‘It’s a beautiful series and a powerful portrayal of young gay love – thank you for making it!’
Sir Elton’s husband David posted the image to social media, simply writing it was an ‘epic dinner,’ alongside an emoji of a rocket and a plate.
Dua, 27, Sebastian, 20, and William, 19, all adorned the comments section with heart emojis, while 44-year-old Jake wrote: ‘Thank You for such a fun, inspiring night!!’

A second added: ‘sam fender with the cast of heartstopper and dua lipa????? is this a fever dream?’
‘You know when people say “choose 10 celebrities you’d want to have a dinner party with” ….this…this is what they meant,” another added.
Dua – who is reportedly dating rapper Jack Harlow – shared her own snap from the dinner to her Instagram story, showing her closing her eyes and pouting as she sits next to the Candle in the Wind hitmaker.
