Elton John gushed over his sons after they made a surprise appearance at his Oscars party as guests of honor.
Zachary and Elijah grinned as they held hands with their godmother Lady Gaga at the Elton John Aids Foundation Oscars viewing party.
Proud dad Elton shared the snap on his Instagram and captioned it: "So sad to be missing out on these family photos from #EJAFOscars tonight with @DavidFurnish, @LadyGaga and the boys but I’m sending my love to everyone for their support of @EJAF. It means the world to us!"
Taking to the stage with the Bad Romance hitmaker, Elton's husband David Furnish, 59, praised the "two very special guests who inspire me and Elton every day.
Turning to the audience, he added: "Will you please say hello to Zachary and Elijah?"
Lady Gaga added: "It means so much to be sharing tonight with my God children."
Elton, who recently celebrated his 75th birthday, was forced to miss out on his party after it clashed with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
The Oscars were postponed from February to March 27, but Elton didn't want to disappoint fans who had to miss out on his tour previously due to the pandemic.
It was the first time in the 30 years that the event has been running that the Rocket Man hitmaker has missed it.
A source told The Sun: "Elton is absolutely gutted he can't make the party but it was completely out of his hands.
"When his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour was rescheduled, he kept the first Oscars date free.
"But when the ceremony was then moved, everything was already set in stone."
His Oscars Party has raised tens of millions for his Aids Foundation.
David wore a buttoned-up black blazer with a pair of smart black suit trousers and added a bit of sparkle with a butterfly broach.
His sons wore matching navy blue blazers over white shirts and burgundy ties.
They added midnight blue trousers and wore matching black leather loafers.
The pair have been together since 1993 and had Zachary via surrogate in 2010 and then three years later had Elijah by the same surrogate.
To celebrate his birthday, Elton penned a letter to both of his sons and published it in Time Magazine.
"You're 11 and 9 years old now, and when I was your age, I could never have dreamed where life would take me," he said.
