Ian 'Molly' Meldrum, 79, shocked Elton John concert-goers on Friday night when he appeared onstage with the singer at Melbourne's AAMI Park and decided to drop his pants and moon the crowd.

Molly was in the audience when Elton paid tribute to the presenter, telling the crowd, "He’s quite honestly a national treasure."

The singer continued, "I want to thank him for all the love and loyalty he’s shown me over the years. I love you."
