Elton John posted pictures of him with his two sons - Zachary, 5, and Elijah, 2 - on the ski slopes to Instagram.

"Here in the snow with our beautiful boys," he captioned the pic.

In another photo, Elton's husband David Furnish poses with Zachary.

"Today was a landmark day in the Furnish-John household. Our son graduated from the kid's ski run to take his very first proper grown-up ski run!" wrote Furnish.

The happy pics come just days after a source, speaking with The Sun, alleged that couple's hectic lifestyles are starting to catch up with them.

"Elton is looking for a quiet life and has handed control of his life to David," said the insider.

"But David is behaving like a control freak with little idea how to run Elton's financial or domestic affairs.

He has fallen out with and fired some very experienced and loyal people and other domestic staff are suddenly being slapped with gagging orders so they can't talk about Elton or David."

"They have six houses all around the world. All those gardeners, chauffeurs, maids, cleaners.

They are all gagged. Whenever you visit one of the houses you now have to put your phone in a basket when you go through the front door," the source adds.
