The English superstar also posted an image to Instagram of him blowing out candles on a birthday cake alongside his sons, 6-year-old Elijah and 4-year-old Zachary. "Birthday bliss," he captioned the snap, also tagging his longtime partner and husband, David Furnish.

Furnish, 54, later uploaded a snap of John and his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, the lyricist behind dozens of the legendary singer's hits. Furnish wrote, "What an extraordinary evening celebrating two history milestones -- Elton's 70th birthday and 50 years of Elton and Bernie Taupin's successful songwriting partnership."

John recently spoke out on the milestone birthday, telling Beats 1 host Zane Lowe, "Seventy sounds so archaic, doesn't it? When I was growing up, 70 sounded like the end of the world. But things have changed. You're only as old as you feel inside. As far as my inner self, I feel great."
