Chappell Roan Cozies Up With Sir Elton John for a Pizza Party: ‘The Best Evening’

What happens when two queer icons meet in the flesh? According to Sir Elton John and Chappell Roan, they throw a pizza party.

In a post to his Instagram on Monday (June 24), John revealed that he and the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer — as well as John’s husband David Furnish and Roan’s collaborator Dan Nigro — met up on Sunday night for a pizza dinner party. “The BEST evening of pizza and outrageous laughter with the fiercely fabulous @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 as part of the “Rocket Man” singer’s Apple Music show Rocket Hour. During her appearance in late May, the pair discussed Roan’s ascent to stardom, with John letting her know just how happy he was to see her thriving.

“I rang you the other night and said, ‘Listen, I’m not stalking you, but I’m as excited about your album’s success as you are,'” he said. “It’s wonderful to see true talent being recognized.”

Roan, giggling at John’s compliments, said that the sudden success was “pretty overwhelming,” but added that “it’s also affirming … pushing through the hard 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 ascended to No. 16, marking the singer’s first top 20 hit on the chart.

John, meanwhile, wrapped his record-setting Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour in July 2023, and recently spoke with Billboard about his husband’s game-changing work as his manager.
