With a box-office hit biopic, a smoking hot single with Dupa Lipa and a best-selling collaborative album, Elton John’s career has been rocketing in recent years.
The legendary British pop singer can also boast a spot in the Winter Olympics, thanks to U.S. figure skater Nathan Chen.
During the men’s singles figure skating competition in Beijing, Chen performed a golden routine to a medley of Elton tunes, including “Rocket Man.”
The 22-year-old athlete, a three-time world champion, had the judges all fired up and, in the end, won gold for U.S.A. He also scored a shout out from the Rocket Man himself.
“Congratulations @nathanwchen for winning Gold skating to Rocket Man in the free skate finals in Beijing,” John wrote in a social post.
Elton is coming off his own golden run. In 2021, he landed a No. 1 album with The Lockdown Sessions, and three leaders on the U.K. singles chart, included the coveted Christmas No. 1, with Ladbaby and Ed Sheeran on the charity fundraising song “Sausage Rolls For Everyone.”
One of those hits was “Cold Heart” which, in July, made chart history in Australia when it climbed to No. 1, making Elton the oldest artist to top the national survey, at 74 years, seven months and 14 days.
Travis Scott is set to be honored at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards with the coveted ‘I Am Hip Hop’ award.

Eminem captured the sweet moment he learned he was going to be a grandfather on video, and he’s sharing the memory with the world in the new visuals for “Temporary.”
