Watch Elton John and Taron Egerton sing together at ‘Rocketman' premiere

Taron Egerton and Elton John celebrated the premiere of Rocketman in the best possible fashion, performing the titular song at the Cannes Gala Party for the biopic.

And while we already knew that John had some powerful and beautiful singing pipes, Egerton proved that he can more than hold his own against the musician, while simultaneously suggesting that he has done him justice on the big-screen.

You can check out the footage of Elton John and Taron Egerton singing Rocket Man below.

Very, very impressive stuff. Not just because of the singing, too, as the setting and the combined presence of the duo together made it all the more powerful.

Clearly John and Egerton have formed quite the bond during this experience, too. In his introduction for the actor Elton called Taron “incredible,” while right at the end of the performance the 29-year-old actor gave his 72-year-old counterpart a tender kiss on the head.

They both looked the part on stage, too, as Elton rocked a pair of flamboyant love-heart glasses, while Egerton was particularly dapper in his suit.

The duo had every reason to celebrate after the premiere of Rocketman, as it not only received a prolonged standing ovation following the screening, which even reduced Egerton to tears, but the early reviews for the Elton John biopic have been mostly positive.

Egerton has been widely praised for his performance, as has its musical fantasy elements and the fact it hasn’t shone away from John’s homosexuality, although some critics have insisted it is a tad corny from time to time, too. It currently has a score of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, although it is still very, very early days yet.
