Rod Stewart's lavish 80th birthday celebrations are well under way as the rock icon prepares to celebrate becoming an octogenarian on Friday.
The singer is enjoying an array of pre-birthday bash activities whilst away on a swanky family holiday to the Caribbean.
Rod, who has fathered eight children from five women and is now a grandfather-of-two, organised all of his kids coming together to celebrate on the lavish trip.
Rod's wife Penny Lancaster has taken to Instagram to share some snaps of their big 'family night out' while enjoying their exotic vacation.
Sharing two pictures to her Instagram stories, Penny can be seen with her arm around her hubby as the pair pose together while holding some drinks.
The second image shows the whole family gang grinning outside an unknown bar while Penny and Rod are stood in the middle.
Rod's son Liam Stewart is expecting his second child with wife Nicole Artukovich, who can be seen clutching her baby bump with her husband behind her in the snap.
Earlier in the week, the Maggie May singer and his entire blended family posed on a boat trip in Celtic FC strips.

The Daily Mail reports that Rod and his family are celebrating onboard a $150m super yacht in Barbados.
The dad-of-eight has reportedly footed the bill for the entire trip and the three tiered $3m yacht, after gathering his big blended family for a 10-day trip which commenced on Sunday.
Penny Lancaster, 53, is onboard with their sons Alastair Wallace, 19, and Aiden Patrick, 13, as well as Rod's daughter Kimberly Stewart, 45.
Kimberly's brother Sean Stewart, 44, is also among the party along with his girlfriend Julia Stambler.
Rod's daughter's Ruby, 37, and Renee, 32, are onboard with their respective partners Jake Kalic and Adam Sumner, as well as Liam Stewart, 30, and his wife Nicole Artukovich, who will soon become parents for the second time.
Rod's grandson's Otis and Louie, both one, are also on the trip.
The luxury vessel, which sailed to St Barts on Tuesday morning, is undertsood to have a huge crew and three chefs to take care of the whole family's 'dietary needs and restrictions' as they go island hopping in the Caribbean.
An insider told the Daily Mail: "The holiday is costing Rod millions.
"He flew everyone to Florida first class and has told them they won’t need to put their hands in their pockets for a thing. He’s covering their every whim.
"The reason behind the trip is Rod feels it’s time to bring his family together for his big birthday. There have been battles between many of them over the years. The singer wants everything from now on to be harmonious."
It's a big year for Rod, who is set to play the Glastonbury's Legend slot this summer.
He will also be performing 'Encore Shows' as a part of an extension of his 13-year Las Vegas residency in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for 12 dates in March, May and June.
For now though, he is simply enjoying turning 80, having acknowledged his milestone birthday last week on his own Instagram.
Sharing an old snap of himself as a young boy, he wrote: "From the streets of North London to the world stage, it all started here. #RodStewart80"
