Sir Elton John is said to be ‘absolutely gutted’ that he is unable to attend his own annual Oscars party for the first time.
The 74-year-old music legend famously hosts an annual bash in Los Angeles on the night of the Academy Awards – with the event serving as a huge fundraiser for his Aids foundation.
Last year, the star studded event – which included appearances and performances from stars including Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga as well as the man himself – raised over £2 million for the charity.
