The 2020 Oscars’ opening musical number, led by Janelle Monáe and Billy Porter, included a portion of Elton’s 1983 hit I’m Still Standing – a song that is two years older than Ms. Monáe!

The piano on which Elton performed (I’m Gonna) Love Me Again was the Red Piano, used during his Las Vegas residency of the same name from 2004-2009.

Former Elton background vocalist Kudisan Kai sang backing vocals on Diane Warren’s song I’m Standing With You (performed by Chrissy Metz) and Cynthia Erivo's Stand Up during the broadcast. Rocketman was also nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards last month. Attending Elton John’s long-running Oscar-night party has always been one of the hardest tickets to get. The five-time GRAMMY winner, joined by her brother/producer FINNEAS on the piano onstage, sang during the show's in memoriam section, which honored some of the creatives and industry figures the film world has lost recently, including Kobe Bryant, Kirk Douglas, Peter Fonda, John Witherspoon, Rip Torn and others.

One of Elton's most iconic songs, Tiny Dancer, was included twice on the television broadcast: once during the "Where the song has transformed the film…" montage and then later during an ABC TV commercial for the upcoming season of American Idol – both times in reference to the song's use in the Cameron Crowe's 2000 film, Almost Famous.

Following that segment, Eminem took the stage for a surprise performance of Lose Yourself.
