Sir Elton John was spotted at Vicarage Road to watch the match between Watford and Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The legendary singer and former chairman of Watford FC, 78, could be seen in good spirits as he sat in the stands waiting for kick off at 3pm.
While he settled into his premium seats that boasted a clear view of the pitch, Elton wore his standout chunky blue glasses.
He matched his outfit to them, donning the brand new Watford jersey under a black blazer, and completed his look with black trousers.
Elton also appeared to be striking up a conversation with the person sat on his left-hand side.
Launching the team’s new kit this week, Elton said: ‘My passion for this club has never died, and I’m so proud of this club, ever since I was five years old when we played in blue and there were two rickety old stands.

‘What can I say? It’s in my heart and my soul, you can’t get rid of it. The supporters of this club have always been in my heart.’
The shade of blue on the new jersey is influenced by Sir Elton’s early years at the club as a supporter.
Its artwork is also inspired by his Diamonds hits compilation and features the ‘E’ logo as well as the Happy Hornet badge, which was the club logo when he first became chairman.
Elton left his second stint as chairman of the club in 2002 and was awarded honorary life president.
He previously scared fans as he posted bedridden hospital pictures and bedazzled body casts on his Instagram.
But all was not what it seemed, as singer confirmed the set up was to promote the release of a Spinal Tap sequel.
The icon confused fans as he joked ‘rocked too hard… ended up in a cast!’ alongside worrying pictures of himself in a hospital bed.
Sir Elton clarified in his caption he was just backstage with Spinal Tap and publicising his appearance in the upcoming film.

He wrote: ‘The new film, Spinal Tap II, and album are out today, featuring me on ‘Listen To The Flower People’ and ‘Stonehenge’. Thanks for having me be a part of it!’
Elton sported rhinestone-encrusted leg casts and a neck brace, surrounded by floral arrangements, get well soon cards and cast members.
Directed by Rob Reiner, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues comes 41 years after This Is Spinal Tap redefined the mockumentary genre with its behind the scenes look at the hapless antics of a fictional British rock group.
The new film has once again been produced by Bleecker Street – the company responsible for delivering This Is Spinal Tap – and will feature cameo appearances from several music icons including Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.
It will follow the ageing Spinal Tap stars as they perform one last time after reuniting following a 15 year hiatus.
