Elton John’s annual Oscars viewing party is a staple of the awards season. However, this year, the legendary singer is not making an appearance at the event as he took to social media to share his “sadness”.
Elton is currently on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, performing around the US.
He had kept the original Oscars date free but when the Academy Awards were rescheduled he wasn’t able to attend.
The singer took to Instagram to address his absence earlier this evening.
He penned in view of his four million followers: “So sad to be missing out on these family photos from #EJAFOscars tonight with @DavidFurnish, @LadyGaga and the boys.
