The singer, who has been friends with David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 30, to a swanky lunch at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France.
The couple were pictured wining and dining with Sir Elton and his husband David Furnish where the hitmaker reportedly took the opportunity to ‘bring peace’.
The Beckhams
The Beckham family have been at the centre of a feud that has pitted Brooklyn and his wife against the rest of the family.
According to The Sun, Sir Elton ‘briefly’ spoke about the family’s feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents, and footage of the outing shared on social media showed the pair shaking hands.
Speaking about Elton’s role as peacekeeper in the row, a source said; ‘Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He’s utterly neutral in this row.’
‘Elton of old may have relished in taking sides – in this case his young godson, Brooklyn – but two years off his 80th birthday, he’s a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy.
There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as ‘spiritual adviser’ as a godfather, it’s a role he takes seriously.
‘Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short – to patch things up.’
The source added Elton is ‘adamant he doesn’t want to stick his nose in’ the feud, he just simply ‘wants peace’.
