Elton John & Taron Egerton - ‘Tiny Dancer’ (Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party)

During the auction Elton welcomed to the stage actor Taron Egerton, star of the upcoming motion picture film, ROCKETMAN; an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John. Following a short preview of the trailer and a trip to the London premiere on the block, the audience was taken by surprise when Taron suggested an off-the-cuff performance of 'Tiny Dancer', and Sir Elton John volunteering from the audience to accompany him on the piano. Guests were brought to their feet as they watched Elton John take his position on the keys while Taron belted out the lyrics to one of his most beloved ballads.

[greenhairedhannah]

Taron looks so honoured to be singing Elton’s song and Elton looks like a proud parent. This video is beautiful

[Megmac]

It's so cute how you can see Taron struggling to keep it together. He can't believe his luck, bless him.

[jackgower]

This actor has more music talent than 90% of people who have won X factor in the last 15 or so years. Crazy.

[sphie]

Elton John is just like "YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE"

[chloe-dgtm]

Imagine having Elton John sing backup for you singing his song lol

[mohitoBhau]

Thank the heavens we didn't lose Sir Elton John to the drugs and booze, we would have missed out on so much. 28 years sober, and finally loved the way he always wanted.

[mirabolo]

The fusion of Elton and Taron's voices Is perfectly balancing and enchanting 2:38

[jazel]

Picked the perfect actor to play Elton John in Rocketman. Sings beautifully too. 👍

[frenchify]

Damn. Every time Taron finishes a line, he looks like he's holding back his tears with all his might. I sure as shit couldn't lol. Dude can actually sing though! Wow

[ellamckenzie]

watching Taron singing so star struck of Elton John, who is looking on like a proud dad, my whole heart <3

[alex_w_j]

He’s honestly one of those under the radar actors who is due for a huge career

[beatz]

People sometimes seem to forget what a fabulous piano player Elton John is.

[parishoffmann]

Never saw an actor singing like this... It's so fucking brilliant I just love Taron...his attitude and he's handsome

[fncytsl]

When Taron said, "Blue jean baby" It was Perfect. No joke. Hear it

[knifemastertfaltfak]

Growing up with an abusive dad I wished Elton John was my father, especially once I came out to my parents and my dad threw me out after breaking my nose. All I had when I left was my car, my savings, and an Elton CD. His music kept me going through the years.

[teresasamachado]

you can see how hard Taron is trying not to cry of happiness it’s beautiful

[CalebBelyeu]

I think Taron is going to be simply amazing in Rocketman

[kevlarkid]

Elton John looks like the grandmother everyone wanted.

[MrMrMrprofessor]

The moment Elton joined in on the chorus...the CHILLS that went up my spine. Beautiful.
