Shirtless Eric Clapton showcased his age-defying looks as he soaked up the sun during a family holiday in Corsica, France on Friday. 

The £450million megastar, 79, who is ranked as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, was spotted taking a dip in the sea.

Meanwhile, his stunning wife Melia, 47, sunbathed on the beach alongside their two youngest daughters. 

Eric has five children Ruth, 39, Julie Rose, 23, Ella May, 21, Sophie Belle, 19, and his late son Conor, who died in 1991.

During their sunny break, Eric was spotted making the most of the sun as he sunbathed on the beach after he took a dip in the sea. 

Himself, his wife and three daughters flaunted their incredible figures in some skimpy swimwear as they enjoyed some important family time together.

After enjoying a quick swim in the water, the famous family then headed out on a private boat. 

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 his 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.
