“During lockdown I made this single. It came out yesterday with Dua Lipa,” he told the crowd, to rapturous applause.
“So I want you all to dance at your tables, wave your hands and your handkerchiefs…”
The I’m Still Standing hitmaker previously featured on Lipa’s ‘Studio 2054’ livestream – also starring Kylie Minogue – in November and, earlier this year, she performed at his AIDS Foundation Oscars party.
This year alone, he’s also released collaborations with Rina Sawayama on her track Chosen Family, along with a cover of Pet Shop Boys’ It’s a Sin with Olly Alexander.
