Ageless Sting, 71, shows off incredibly buff bod as he takes off on epic world tour

Sting wowed fans on Sunday when he showed off his buff bod as he proved age is just a number.

The Roxanne star, 71, was strutting his stuff in Scarborough for his My Songs world tour as he treated ticket holders to a whirlwind of energy.

Fans couldn't get over how lively the 17-time Grammy winner was, rocking a tight grey t-shirt and bleached blonde locks at the outdoor gig, which included a rousing rendition of his greatest hits.

But it was Sting's fellow septuagenarian, Elton John, 76 - who he duetted with in Come Down in Time in 1991 - who really stole the show on the weekend.

The Rocket Man won widespread praise for his Glastonbury gig on the Pyramid Stage in Somerset, which has been billed as the 'best ever'.

Fans flocked to social media in awe of the performance, which will stay in our hearts and minds for years to come.

Treating fans to hits including Rocket Man and Cold Heart, the music icon had tears in his eyes as he thanked the audience for being part of such an historic night.

Sitting next to his piano, sporting a fabulous gold jacket, Elton said: "You make me feel so happy. I want to thank you for 52 years of amazing love and loyalty that you have shown me.

"It’s be an immense journey. I have had the best time, I will never forget you. You are in my head, my heart, and my soul. You have been amazing, an incredible crowd tonight. Thank you so much Glastonbury, thank you so much England. I wish you so much health and happiness."

The star's set also had an effect on two excitable couples in the audience, who felt the love and got engaged, much to fans' delight.

The gig was undoubtedly one of Elton's best, but after belting out the final note of Rocket Man, Elton allegedly jumped in a golf buggy and hot-footed it home.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast this morning Colin Paterson, said: "He [Elton] hit the last note of Rocket Man, jumped in a golf cart with a giant E on it, drove down where an automobile was waiting for him and was whisked to the red gate where there was a helicopter.

"Aviation nerds tracked that helicopter...it took him 39 minutes to get home to Windsor - the queues for the showers at Glastonbury are longer!"
