Rare vintage photos from the private collection of Elton John are to go on show in a special exhibition at Tate Modern.
"The Radical Eye: Modernist Photography from the Elton John's Collection" will feature an "unrivalled" selection of images from the 1920s to the 1950s.
It will include more than 150 shots and include pieces from renowned artists such as Man Ray and Berenice Abbott.
John began collecting 25 years ago and now has more than 7,000 pictures, reported BBC online.
The pictures will be transported from the 68-year-old singer's homes around the world to London for the show in November.
He said it was "a great honour" to lend part of his collection "for this groundbreaking exhibition".
"The Modernist era in photography is one of the key moments within the medium and collecting work from this period has brought me great joy over the last 25 years," added John.
