Due to the return of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which he has returned to following his COVID diagnosis, Elton won't be able to make an attendance at the lavish event.
"It breaks my heart but I can't be there, because it's an event that means so much to us," he said during his virtual interview. "So we have people like Lady Gaga, Billy Porter, Eric McCormack and the wonderful Brandi Carlile to help David, my husband out."
