Shirtless Eric Clapton showcased his age-defying looks as he soaked up the sun during a family holiday in Corsica, France last week.
The £450million megastar, 79, who is ranked as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, relaxed on the beach with his daughters and wife Melia.
Eric has five children Ruth, 39, Julie Rose, 23, Ella May, 21, Sophie Belle, 19, and his late son Conor, who died in 1991.
The guitarist enjoyed some downtime with his family as they travelled around the French island on a yacht.
Following a day in the sunshine, Eric slipped into a blue T-shirt and white shirts, teamed with a denim jacket to head out for dinner.

After a day at the beach, middle child Ella May was seen cooling off in the shade on a luxury yacht.
She flashed her jaw-dropping physique in a burgundy strappy bikini with sea shells embellished on.
Eric’s first child Ruth, whose mother is Yvonne Kelly, was born in 1985 while he was married to ex-wife Pattie Boyd.
The father-of-five shares three children Julie Rose, Ella May and Sophie Belle with hus current wife Melia McEnery – who is rarely seen.
Eric and Melia tied the knot at St Mary Magdalene Church in Surrey back in 2001.
And in 1991, Eric lost his only son Conor after he tragically died in New York City from falling 49 stories out of an open window.
In February, Eric’s first wife Pattie Boyd said she was planning to sell letters from her notorious love triangle with him and Beatles legend George Harrison – saying she finds them ‘heartbreaking’ to read back.
The 1960s model and muse, who was the inspiration for both musicians, said she has Eric’s permission for the auction of the love letters.

She famously captured the hearts of two of the leading voices of her time, inspiring George’s Beatles classic, Something, and Eric’s Wonderful Tonight and Layla.
Boyd, the daughter of a retired RAF bomber pilot, wed George in 1966 but the marriage lasted just under 10 years. In that time, she was pursued by his friend Eric – who expressed his love for her in letters.
The model eventually went on to marry the guitarist in 1979 and they both remained close with her ex-husband, but divorced in 1988.
