Yahoo News Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran to celebrate Elton in ITV special
A host of stars are lining up to celebrate Elton John's epic career in a new tribute to his music.
Elton John: I'm Still Standing - A Grammy Salute, which will air on ITV on Monday (April 30), will see the likes of Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Chris Martin and Sam Smith honour the legendary popstar.
The huge range of musicians will take to the stage to perform some of Elton's most classic anthems, before Elton himself treats us to some tunes.
There will also be special guest appearances from Neil Patrick Harris, Anna Kendrick, Lucy Liu and Hailee Steinfeld.
The full musical line-up is as follows:
"The Bitch Is Back" - Miley Cyrus
"Candle In The Wind" - Ed Sheeran
"Daniel" - Sam Smith
"I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" - Alessia Cara
"Your Song" - Lady Gaga
"Rocket Man" - Little Big Town
"Border Song" - Christopher Jackson & Valerie Simpson
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" - SZA & Shawn Mendes
"Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters" - Maren Morris
"We All Fall In Love Sometimes" - Chris Martin
"My Father's Gun" - Miranda Lambert
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - Kesha
"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" - John Legend
"Bennie And The Jets" - Elton John
"Philadelphia Freedom" - Elton John
"I'm Still Standing" - Elton John & Ensemble
The tribute, which has already aired in the US on CBS, follows the recent release of Revamp, an album which saw a host of musicians cover some of Elton's most popular songs.
The album reached number two in the UK album compilation chart.
Sir Elton is certainly having a bit of a moment lately, as it's recently been confirmed that a biopic about his life is definitely being made.
Rocketman will star Kingsman actor Taron Egerton as Sir Elton, following Taron's cover of his classic hit 'I'm Still Standing' in 2016 cartoon Sing.
And Taron already has the legend's blessing, as Elton was said to be "blown away" by his already recorded covers for the film.
Elton John: I'm Still Standing - A Grammy Salute will air on Monday (April 30) at 10.45pm on ITV.
