Legendary musician Elton John surprised the crowd by bringing out Shawn Mendes and Demi Lovato to sing duets at his Los Angeles concert on January 13, 2016.
Performing at the Wiltern to preview his upcoming album Wonderful Crazy Night, the British musician first introduced the audience to rising Canadian star Shawn Mendes, “If I were 50 years younger… I’d still be one year older than Shawn.” The two then went on to perform the 70’s hit “Tiny Dancer”.
Check out the performance below.

Up next Demi Lovato joined Elton John from “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”. Demi’s powerhouse vocal with the support from the Piano Man is truly something to be reckoned with.
