Rich Fury/Getty Images for EJAFElton John‘s 27th annual Oscar Viewing Party, held last night at West Hollywood Park in Los Angeles, raised more than $6 million dollars for the global effort to end AIDS — and also offered a thrilling in-person sneak peek of Elton’s upcoming biopic, Rocketman.

During the annual party, there’s always an auction with fabulous, one-of-a-kind prizes, and this year was no different: Guests bid on a chance to win a trip to the London premiere of Rocketman. But during the bidding, the auctioneer invited actor Taron Egerton, the star of Rocketman, to come up and sing. He said he’d do it, but only if Elton accompanied him. 

With Elton at the piano, Taron sang “Tiny Dancer” as the guests gave them a standing ovation. Egerton sings Elton’s songs in the film as well. It’s in theaters this May.

The auction also offered guests the chance to bid on a Yamaha piano autographed and played by Elton at the Lion King 10th Anniversary concert, the chance to attend studio sessions for Elton’s upcoming musical The Devil Wears Prada, a week-long vacation to the Maldives and a tour of the private Elizabeth Taylor Archive.

The Killers also performed at the event, and among the dozens and dozens of stars who attended were Diana Ross, Tiffany Haddish, Quincy Jones, Eric McCormack, Jane Seymour, Patricia Arquette, Terry Crews, Paris Hilton, Anna Paquin and Heidi Klum.
