Fresh off the back of Rami Malek scoring an Oscar for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, the next musical biopic we can’t bloody wait for it Rocketman, which stars Kingsman‘s Taron Egerton as Elton John.

The film isn’t released until May 30, but Elton and Taron has given us the mother of all teasers by belting out a duet of the singer’s smash-hit “Tiny Dancer” at an Oscars party yesterday.
Not only was the duet a 10/10 banger, but it was for a good cause. Elton holds an Oscar party every year to raise funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and this year’s edition made over $6.3 million towards AIDS research. During the auction part of the evening, one of the prizes up for bidding was a trip to London to see Rocketman.
Taron was then dragged up onstage to sing, but he refused to do it unless Elton accompanied him on the piano. And of course, the Rocketman himself obliged.
