Taron shared the gorgeous snap too, writing: “Well… that was fun!”

It was an especially cherished moment for the actor who according to Yahoo Entertainment performed ‘Your Song’ as his audition piece to get into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art when he was just 19-years-old.

The surprise performance comes after Elton praised Taron for his incredible recreation of ‘Rocket Man’ in a video filmed in the recording studio prior to the movie’s release.

Seeing the full length video, Elton himself admitted he was “astonished” to see the result of all of Taron’s hard work.

“It was so important for the music to be sung by Taron. I wanted his interpretation of me, through the music. I’ve been astonished with the results,” he revealed on Twitter.

The video begins slowly, just as the original did, with Taron managing to capture Elton’s smooth tone throughout. From there, he flawlessly shows off his vocal range as he hits every high note perfectly.

Rocketman follows Elton’s life and career as he prepares to release his 1972 breakthrough album Honky Chateau, from the highs to the lows, and Taron, 29, appears to completely transform on screen – looking almost unrecognisable in full costume.

The video shows him in a variety of costumes, dancing on stage and showing off some of his signature moves in front of the crowd.
