Posting the photo to Instagram, the Rocketman star wrote that he hadnā€™t seen many of his friends from Pinner Grammar School for five decades.

He wrote: ā€œLunch at home with dear old school friends. Many of whom I havenā€™t seen for 50 years! It was as if we never left school. So much laughter and so many wonderful memories.ā€

Of his friend Keith Francis, who flew from Australia for the reunion, he wrote: ā€œA wonderful, loyal friend for 57 years and still counting! He flew all the way from Australia for our class reunion. Love you so much.ā€

In other Sir Elton news, after a long-awaited biopic of the singerā€™s life is released, his songs and experiences will be brought to Londonā€™s West End in a musical.

The musical will be created by the team who brought Billy Elliott to life on the stage.

ā€œIt will be called ā€˜Rocketmanā€™ but we will do the film first,ā€ Old Vic producer Sally Greene said.
