SIR Elton John and his family are isolating together in their stunning LA mansion during lockdown.
The music legend, 73, his husband David Furnish, 57, and their two sons seven-year-old Elijah and Zachary, nine, have been keeping themselves safe from the deadly bug by staying indoors.
Despite owning several properties all over the world – including Los Angeles, Atlanta, London, Windsor, Nice and Venice – the family set up camp at their property in California.
The pair purchased the stunning pad back in 2012 for a whopping £6 million and have gone on to make it into a gorgeous family home to bring their two sons up in.
Their colourful kitchen is a huge open space which boasts white cupboards covered head to toe in the essential cooking appliances.
They’ve added a bit of personality to the space with some funky lights, a variety of multicoloured vases and beautiful flowers.
The dining/living room area boasts white walls, pillars and wooden floors.
A splash of colour was added to the space with their choice of bold prints on their dining room chairs and various other pieces of art.
The room also has a selection of gorgeous flowers to brighten up the room.
Their unique sense of style is also shown with their selection of glass vases that frame their ceiling.
Over the last few weeks, the two youngsters have been able to watch their favourite movies in their very own cinema.
The room boasts a huge flat screen TV and they even have a pool table to keep themselves occupied with.
Their LA home also has the most spacious garden for the kids to run around in and play football as they have their very own goal net.
The four can also enjoy a picnic in the sunshine and look out at the amazing space that they have.
During an interview in 2016 with The Telegraph, the Rocketman hitmaker joked that he might own too many properties.
He said: “I’ve too many homes, probably, but I love them. It’s a matter of creature comforts.
“It’s nice to stay in your own place, and you just accumulate them. Anyway, I’m not as bad as Keith Richards.
“To be honest, a normal night for me would be putting the kids to bed, reading them a story, and then having dinner with David at home. He turned up in Paris once and he’d forgotten where he lived!”
Earlier this month the music icon pledged £815, 000 ($1million) to a coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund to protect those living with HIV.
He took to Instagram to announce that his foundation was launching the fund to make sure no HIV patient is left behind while the Covid-19 pandemic grips the globe.
In the video, the performer read out a statement to his 2.8million followers and explained how the fund will help those in need.
He began: “Hi this is Elton and I’m so pleased to announce that my foundation is a launching a new COVID-19 Emergency Fund today.
“For almost 30 years, my foundation has prioritised the most vulnerable people to HIV to end the aids epidemic and we’re committed to this amid the COVD-19 crisis too.
“Distributing medicines, testing and preventive treatment is not as simple as it was a few weeks ago so our new COVID-19 emergency fund will help frontline partners to prepare for and respond to the pandemic and it’s effects on HIV prevention and care for the most marginalised communities.
Adding: “We must keep up momentum or else the results could be disastrous for people living with HIV and other infectious diseases. We’re with you, we’re thinking of you, we will not leave anyone behind.”
The award-winning musician echoed the same sentiments in the caption of the video which read: “Today, I’m proud to announce that my Foundation @EJAF is launching a $1million COVID-19 Emergency Fund to make sure that our frontline partners can respond to the effects of COVID-19 on HIV care for the most marginalised communities around the world.
“Now and always, I’m committed to not leave anyone affected by HIV behind. Click on the link in my bio for more info.
“Sending love to all of our Foundation’s partners, grantees, supporters, frontline workers and members of our community during this time.”
As well as pledging money to his HIV/Aids charity, Elton has also played a huge part in raising money to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
He hosted the iHeart Living Room Concert For America last month, which raised more than $8 million dollars in donations earmarked to Feeding America and the First Responders Children’s Foundation.
