That guy on the piano is pretty good, maybe someday he’ll be famous.

[godless]

Every time I see them play, I am touched by how Elton supports Taron as opposed to out stage him. He clearly has tremendous affection for him.

[mavestone]

He went from protecting Elton in kingsmen to becoming Elton in Rocketman

[viney]

Imagine performing an Elton John song while having Elton John as your background singer

[GabzitoHD]

So nice for Taron Egerton to give this Elton guy a shoutout, he might have a chance in the industry

[alexlittle]

Taron Egerton is an amazing discover. He is so talented, i love him. Elton is amazing as always.

Taron has amazing voice. Perfect choice to play Elton

hopefully Taron lets his piano playing assistant get a chance to make it in the music industry on his own, he’s pretty good

[Ayleen]

I'm the only who cries every time Elton and Taron sing together? The way they look at each other is so mesmerizing.

[YTantirungrotechai]

Would be funny if Elton play elder version of Taron in kingsman 3.

[JulyN]

He's getting comfortable singing live with sir Elton John. Good for him...

[cyrojay]

They killed it last time with Tiny Dancer, Now with this Song?

[prisonmike]

I love that Taron is so confident out there singing. Hitting those high notes must not be so easy yet he nailed them. Talented guy.

[EvanLauOfficial]

Taron sounds just like in movie. I can totally see them singing at one of the best concerts live. Taron deserves an Oscar for doing all of the singing himself in Rocketman.

[laurag.g.]

Taron sang so well considering that he cry a lot before this because the standing ovation to Rocketman and him.

[matthewpeterkinaikuruyamot]

Elton John is the man how he is helping Taron Egerton out of singing Rocketman song that what I call teamwork and friendship

[stephencourton]

What I love when they sing together is how Elton allows Taron to do most of the singing and mainly plays the piano and you can tell by his facial expressions he’s so proud.

[TheIvett]

Please give Taron an Oscar and a Grammy as well, thank you.

[TheRealMissLorena]

Ok I'm waiting for Taron's album debut cause he is so good OMG
