Last updated 12th May 2021
The BRIT Awards 2021 with Mastercard took place at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday 11th May, with Jack Whitehall hosting the biggest night in UK music with superstars such as Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Little Mix and P!nk.
Alongside some amazing live performances and artists picking up their well-deserved awards, viewers were given an almighty treat when BRITs legend Sir Elton John took to the stage alongside Years & Years star Olly Alexander.
Watch Elton John and Years & Years perform at The BRIT Awards:
The star-studded performance reportedly came about after Elton was inspired by Olly's performance as Ritchie Tozer in Channel 4’s hard-hitting drama It’s A Sin earlier this year.
Performing a cover of Pet Shop Boys' hit song 'It’s A Sin', the pair delighted both viewers at home and the 4000-strong crowd at the O2 Arena.
Fans are now able to download the track, with some of the proceeds going to Elton John's AIDS Foundation, an organisation which supports innovative HIV prevention.
