Sir Elton John, 78, Parties Hard In France With David Walliams – Socal Vibes In Cannes!

Sir Elton John’s Retirement Glow-Up: Party Mode On!

Retirement? More like a non-stop party! Sir Elton John, the 78-year-old legend who’s given us bangers like 'Your Song,' was recently caught living it up in the south of France, and he’s got some A-list company. After hanging up his touring boots in 2023 post his epic Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour - which spanned five years and packed arenas worldwide despite the COVID chaos - Elton’s clearly not slowing down.

Instead of chilling by a pool in the Hollywood Hills, our man jetted off to the glamorous French Riviera, soaking up the sun and vibes that could rival any Malibu summer bash. Spotted over the weekend, he was all smiles, proving retirement in his world means more fun, not less. And with a career that’s sold millions of records, who are we to argue with his definition of ‘taking it easy’?

Dancing Under the French Sun with David Walliams

On Sunday, Sir Elton was joined by none other than British funnyman David Walliams for a sun-kissed night out at La Guérite, a swanky spot on Ile Sainte-Marguerite, just a yacht ride off Cannes. Think of it as the French version of a hidden Santa Monica beach club - exclusive, gorgeous, and full of star power. David shared the good times on Instagram, posting clips and snaps of their epic evening.

In one video, David’s grooving hard to Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody,’ trying to get Elton on his feet. While the ‘Sacrifice’ singer stayed seated, he couldn’t resist belting out the lyrics with a grin that screamed pure joy. Fans on Insta ate it up, with one commenter, Helen Flinn, hyping the duo as the ‘perfect partnership’ of singer and dancer.

“Man, seeing Sir Elton just vibin’ like that with David - it’s like watching two legends throw their own Coachella after-party!”

Star-Studded Surprises and Riviera Glam

The night wasn’t just about Elton and David’s bromance. Some eagle-eyed fans noticed stars from Netflix’s ‘Heartstopper’ - Kit Connor, Tobie Donovan, and Joe Locke - joining the dance party, with David sharing a cute pic alongside the young actors. Whether they all planned this French getaway together or just bumped into each other on the island, one thing’s for sure: they made the most of it with some serious SoCal-style carefree energy.

What’s wilder is that La Guérite’s other diners seemed oblivious to the icons in their midst. Followers like Nicky Veitch cracked up over how folks at nearby tables had ‘no clue’ they were dining next to a music god and a comedy king. Another fan joked about a girl in the background squinting, probably wondering, ‘Wait, is that really Elton?’

La Guérite: The Ultimate Celebrity Hideout

La Guérite isn’t just any restaurant - it’s a Mediterranean hotspot on an island only reachable by boat, dripping with the kind of exclusivity you’d find at a private Malibu estate. Sir Elton’s no stranger to its charm, having dined there before, and he’s in good company. Over the years, this gem has hosted heavyweights like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the Beckhams, the Kardashians, and even Leonardo DiCaprio.

It’s the kind of place where Hollywood and global showbiz collide over fancy bites and ocean views. So, seeing Elton and David - longtime pals who’ve been spotted together at events with other stars like Ruby Wax - chilling here feels like the most LA thing to happen outside of California. Here’s to more retirement ragers from Sir Elton - we’re ready for the next Insta drop!
