Eric Clapton, 79, goes shirtless as he takes a dip in the sea while his wife Melia, 47, and daughters sunbathe on the beach during family holiday in Corsica

A shirtless Eric Clapton showed off his age-appropriate look on Friday as he soaked up the sun during a family vacation in Corsica, France.

The 79-year-old £450million megastar, considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, was spotted taking a dip in the sea.

Meanwhile, his beautiful wife Melia, 47, sunbathed on the beach next to their 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.

Eric’s first child, Ruth, whose mother is Yvonne Kelly, was born in 1985 when he was married to his ex-wife Pattie Boyd.

The father of five has three children: Julie Rose, Ella May and Sophie Belle, with his current wife Melia McEnery, who is rarely seen.

Eric and Melia married in 2001 at St Mary Magdalene Church in Surrey.

And in 1991, Eric lost his only son Conor, when he tragically died in New York City after falling 49 stories from an open window.

In February, Pattie Boyd, Eric’s first wife, announced she was selling letters from her infamous love triangle with him and Beatles legend George Harrison, saying she found it “heartbreaking” to read them again.

The 1960s model and muse, who was an inspiration to both musicians, said she has Eric’s permission to auction the love letters.

She captured the hearts of two of the most important voices of her time, inspiring George to write his Beatles classic Something and Eric to write Wonderful Tonight and Layla.

Boyd, the daughter of a retired RAF bomber pilot, married George in 1966, but the marriage lasted just under 10 years. During that time she was pursued by his friend Eric, who expressed his love for her in letters.

The model eventually married the guitarist in 1979 and they both remained close to her ex-husband, but divorced in 1988.
