The lineup of musical acts for this year’s ceremony was unveiled last week by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 

The list of performers includes Elton John and Cynthia Erivo, as well as other nominees for Best Original Song. They will sing “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from Rocketman and “Stand Up” from Harriet, respectively. 

Returning to perform on the Oscars stage is Idina Menzel, who will sing the Best Original Song nominee “Into the Unknown” from Frozen 2. She last sang at the 2014 Oscars, belting out the Oscar-winning song “Let It Go” from Frozen.

Randy Newman will perform his Toy Story 4 song “I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away” and This Is Us star Chrissy Metz will perform nominee Diane Warren’s song “I’m Standing with You” from Breakthrough.

“We’re excited to have an incredible group of nominees and performers who will deliver one-of-a-kind music moments you will only see on the Oscars,” said Oscar show producers Lynette Howell Taylor and Stephanie Allain.

The Golden Globes kick off festivities every year, with this year’s ceremony taking place even earlier than usual on January 5. The Beverley Hills Hilton will be the venue for the glitzy event, which is often regarded as an office party, where everyone gets a little tipsy thanks to the bottles of booze on the tables. 

Ricky Gervais will be returning to hosting duties, even though he swore he never would (he promises that this is definitely his last time…), but the night is renowned for having various celebrities grace the stage to present awards. 

This year’s batch is set to include Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Tiffany Haddish, Charlize Theron, Will Ferrell, Tim Allen, Christian Bale, Antonio Banderas, Jason Bateman, Cate Blanchett, Matt Bomer, Pierce Brosnan, Glenn Close, Daniel Craig, Ted Danson, Ansel Elgort, Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Lauren Graham, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, Elton John, Nick Jonas, Zoe Kravitz, Jennifer Lopez, Rami Malek, Kate McKinnon, Jason Momoa, Helen Mirren, Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Poehler, Margot Robbie, Paul Rudd, Wesley Snipes, Octavia Spencer, Sofia Vergara, Kerry Washington, Naomi Watts, and Rachel Weisz.

And don’t be fooled — with the After Life actor around, no one is safe!

John revealed the news on social media in a candid message to his fans. He wrote: “To my dear fans in Indianapolis: It is with the heaviest heart that I’m forced to deliver the news that I am extremely unwell and therefore unable to perform at Bankers Life Fieldhouse tonight.”

He continued: “I absolutely hate to let my fans down, but I owe it to you to put on the best show possible and unfortunately that’s simply not possible. The date will be rearranged for March 2020, and I promise I will deliver the show you deserve. Thank you so much for your support and understanding… Elton x.”

Earlier this week, John shared another social media post in which he paid tribute to his late mother-in-law. In the post, he described Gladys as a woman with “patient wisdom and bountiful love.”

It’s unclear how John’s remaining tour dates will be affected by the tragedy. As it stands, the next show is scheduled to take place on Monday (October 28) at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Rocketman will document the “I’m Still Standing” singer’s early days as a musical prodigy, up until his musical partnership with Bernie Tauplin.

John has made it explicitly clear that he intends the film, which is directed by Dexter Fletcher, to be a no-holds-barred depiction, including all the gritty details of his past, which included substance abuse, depression, and struggles with his sexuality.

“It had to be as honest as possible. The lows were very low, but the highs were very high, and that’s how I wanted the film to be,” he said in a promo for the feature.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle star Taron Egerton will portray the Grammy winner, and has been confirmed as providing his own voice for the musician’s classic songs.

He will be joined on screen by Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, Bryce Dallas Howard, Stephen Graham, and Tate Donovan.

Rocketman is set to have its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival on the 16th of May, before being released in the UK on the 22nd.

The world premiere of the highly anticipated Elton John biopic has been set for May 16th.

“We are incredibly honored and excited to premiere our movie Rocketman at the Cannes film festival on May 16th. This has been a labor of love for all of us, and we couldn’t dream of a better launching pad for this very special film,” said producers Rocket Pictures and Marv Films in a statement.

The gaudy and debauch-heavy film tells the fantastical human story of John’s breakthrough years. It follows John’s early days as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music up to his eventual musical partnership with Bernie Taupin. 

Starring as John is Taron Egerton alongside Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Rocketman is directed by Dexter Fletcher, who took over as helmer on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody after director Bryan Singer was fired.

The Cannes Film Festival debut will be followed by a May 31st domestic release.

Paramount dropped a first look photo of Taron Egerton as the pop icon. There’s no doubt the transformation is complete with Egerton clad in a gold lamé jacket paired with glittery sunglasses and winged boots while lounging on a couch inside a private plane.T

he resemblance is so uncanny that John himself took to social media, sharing the image and writing, “Words cannot describe how proud and excited I am. Hold on to your glasses, this is going to be a wild ride!”

The Dexter Fletcher helmed feature is touted by the studio as an “uncensored” telling of Elton’s life. The “epic musical fantasy” will take the viewers through the icon’s early years.  

Rounding out the cast are Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, Gemma Jones, and Bryce Dallas Howard. 

The film will premiere on May 31, 2019.

That’s the message that fans of Elton John will be sending out to a group of artists who have been tasked with covering some of his classics.

The 70-year-old announced in January that he would be retiring from touring following a 40-year career on the road and that he will be embarking on a three-year-long tour as a grand farewell.

But while the Rocket Man is “still standing”, he has selected several musicians whom he trusts enough to provide their own version of the songs he made famous as part of 2 new albums.

Titled Revamp and Restoration, the CDs will feature pop and country tracks, respectively.

Those tasked with stepping into Elton’s presumably very expensive shoes will be Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, Roseanne Cash, and Willie Nelson, amongst others.

It has already been revealed that Pink and Logic will pair up for Bennie and the Jets, while Florence + the Machine will provide her pipes for Tiny Dancer.

Both albums are out on the 6th of April.

We hope we feel the love that night.
