What happens when two queer icons meet in the flesh? According Sir Elton John and Chapel Roanthey are having a pizza party.
In his post Instagram on Monday (June 24), John revealed that he and the 'Good Luck, Baby!' singer — as well as John's husband David Furnish and Roan partner Dan Nigro — met Sunday night for a pizza dinner. “The BEST night of pizza and outrageous laughs with the unbelievably awesome @chappellroan,” John wrote in the caption. “Love her, love her, love her.”
While the post marked the first time the pair had met in person, John and Roan had previously spoken to each other on the “Rocket Man” singer's Apple Music show. Rocket time. During her appearance at the end of May, the pair discussed Roan's rise to stardom, with John telling her how happy he was to see her flourish.
“I called you the other night and said, 'Listen, I'm not stalking you, but I'm as excited about the success of your album as you are,'” he said. “It's great to see real talent recognised.”
Roan, laughing at John's compliments, said the sudden success was “quite overwhelming” but added that it “also confirms … going through the tough times is worth it.”
Roan recently added a fourth single to this week's Billboard Hot 100, as “Pink Pony Club” joins her other tracks “Red Wine Supernova,” “Hot to Go!” and “Good Luck, Babe!”, the latter of which peaked at No. 16, marking the singer's first top 20 hit on the chart.
John, meanwhile, completed the record-breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in July 2023 and recently spoke to Advertising sign for his husband's game-changing work as his manager.
