“Anora” took home five statues on Oscar night, but the unofficial award for best one-off collaboration surely would have gone to a live performance from Elton John and Chappell Roan.
The artists came together Sunday at John’s 33rd Annual AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party at West Hollywood Park. The event raised over $8.6 million to help end AIDS. Attendees included Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Thee Stallion, Brandi Carlile, Camila Cabello, Heidi Klum, Jean Smart, Neil Patrick Harris, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Julia Fox, Maria Bakalova, Nikki Glaser, Walton Goggins and Zooey Deschanel.
Together, Roan and John performed duet renditions of the latter’s “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” and the former’s 2024 hit “Pink Pony Club.”
