Actor Taron Egerton, who is playing Elton John in an upcoming film about the singer’s life, saw the iconic performer live in Fresno on Tuesday night.

Egerton shared a post on Instagram seated at John’s piano before the start of the concert at the Save Mart Center, writing that he was “warming up E’s piano stool for him.”

“What can I say?” Egerton continued. “He’d be lost without me.”
