President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will host Elton John for a concert on the South Lawn of the White House this Friday night.
While the current first couple are fans, Biden's predecessor in the White House, Donald Trump, long considered John a personal friend and was reported to be 'obsessed' with him. John declined to play at Trump's inauguration.
Now John will perform for a commander in chief when he headline s'A Night When Hope and History Rhyme' that will celebrate the healing power of music and commend the life and work of the singer.
The audience will include teachers, nurses, frontline workers, mental health advocates, students, and LGBTQ+ advocates, the White House said.
Biden and John have met before when both men appeared on Stephen Colbert's late night talk show in November 2017. Biden was vice president at the time.
