A video of the singer, 72, was posted on wife Penny Lancaster’s Instagram account - then later deleted - showing the couple with friends while on his world tour.

The star said in a statement: “From re-enacting the Beatles’ Abbey Road crossing to spontaneously playing out Game Of Thrones, we were simply larking about pre-show.

“Understandably, this has been misinterpreted and I send my deepest apologies to those who have been offended.”
