Chappell Roanalso joined John for an incredible performance, taking the stage with the “Rocket Man” star to sing his 1974 hit “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.” In a clip shared on John’sInstagrampage, he belted out the lyrics while sitting at the piano as Roan danced and sang along beside him.

John also donned a sparkly pink cowboy hat to perform Roan’s much-loved track “Pink Pony Club” with her at the star-studded event in West Hollywood.

The singer and former advertising executive, who have been together for three decades, first became fathers when they welcomed their older son, Zachary, in 2010 via surrogate. Elijah joined the family in 2013 via the same surrogate.

During a 2016 appearance onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show,the “Tiny Dancer” singer described his kids with Furnish as “the greatest thing in our lives.”

“If you’d had said to me 10 years ago I’d be sitting on your show married to the man I love and have two beautiful children I would have said, ‘You put acid in my drink.’ But life throws you challenges and life throws you curveballs — great curveballs — and these two children have come along at a time I never thought I’d have children,” he said. “There’s no words to describe how much we love these boys. They’re just amazing.”
