British music icon Elton John rang in the 2025 Academy Awards with a heartwarming appearance alongside husband David Furnish and their two sons, Zachary and Elijah.
The star-studded event took place at the annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party, held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
All four dressed in elegant black suits, projecting a unified family image that drew plenty of admiration from attendees.
According to media reports, the singer affectionately known for hits like I’m Still Standing, Rocket Man, and Tiny Dancer has hosted this glamorous gathering for over three decades, raising millions of dollars to fight HIV/AIDS.
At 77, Elton John remains as energetic and philanthropic as ever, especially in the wake of his recently concluded Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which ended in 2023 to widespread acclaim.
During the Oscars night, he briefly performed alongside special guests, including newcomer Chappell Roan, who joined him on stage to sing the 1974 classic Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
A clip on Elton’s Instagram showed the superstar at the piano, belting out beloved lyrics while Roan danced and harmonized by his side.

In a playful twist, the legendary musician also wore a sparkly pink cowboy hat to accompany Roan’s upbeat tune Pink Pony Club.
The evening took a touching turn when David Furnish and the boys came on stage, underscoring the importance of family in Elton’s life.
The couple, who have been together for three decades, became parents through surrogacy—welcoming Zachary in 2010 and Elijah in 2013.
During a 2016 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the “Tiny Dancer” singer called his children “the greatest thing in our lives,” reflecting on how fatherhood transformed his perspective.
He recalled that if someone had told him a decade earlier he’d be a married father of two, he would have found it unbelievable, yet he now considers it one of life’s greatest blessings.
Beyond the touching family display, the event also showcased Elton John’s enduring commitment to humanitarian causes.
Since its inception in 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has become a global leader in HIV prevention, consistently pushing for research and funding that save countless lives.
For Elton, David, and their children, the 2025 Oscars party was both a celebration of Hollywood’s biggest night and a testament to the power of family, love, and giving back.
With fans eagerly following his philanthropic journey, Elton’s future endeavors will undoubtedly continue spreading hope and inspiration for many years to come.
