Their holiday comes after Sir Elton revealed acclaimed show It's A Sin made him realise 'how lucky he was' to escape the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. 

He praised the Russell T Davies-penned Channel 4 drama and spoke of his plans to invite the cast round to his house for dinner, in a candid chat with Will Manning on The Official Big Top 40. 

It's A Sin follows a group of friends throughout the eighties as their life of hedonistic partying is infiltrated by the emergence of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Sir Elton said he 'dearly loved' lead star and Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander and added: 'When I come back to England which is going to be soon, I’m going to have a dinner for all the cast of It’s A Sin at our house because I love that programme so much.

'It changed my… it didn’t change my life but it made me realise how lucky I was to escape all that and to be reminded of what happened. And so Russell T Davies and the cast are going to come to dinner and we’re going to have a laugh.' 

In 2012, Sir Elton revealed he should be dead from Aids like his friends Freddie Mercury or Rock Hudson.

The rock superstar told the International AIDS conference in Washington DC that his years as a drink and drugs addict put him at high risk of contracting HIV. He has now been sober for more than 30 years.

He said: 'This young man hit absolute rock bottom. His life was a mess, he was spiralling out of control. He should have died. To be honest, he nearly did.

'By all rights I shouldn't be here today,' he said. 'I should be dead – six foot under in a wooden box.

'I should have contracted HIV in the 1980s and died in the 1990s, just likeFreddie Mercury, just like Rock Hudson. Every day I wonder, how did I survive?'  

Inspirational Sir Elton set up the The Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992 to support innovative HIV prevention, education programs, direct care and support services to people living with HIV. 

He is married to Canadian filmmaker David and the pair share two sons.
