If you need another reason to go see this biopic, here’s one: Yes, the Kingsman actor sings throughout the entire film. Hearing Taron’s actual voice instead of Elton’s may make some diehard fans nervous, but do not worry, he’s been honing his vocal craft for many years. 

“When I was 17 I started experimenting with singing solo, I did an amateur musical, and when I was in drama school I was encouraged to sing. I did a singing competition that went well,” he told Bustle in a previous interview about growing up in Wales.  

While many are familiar with Elton’s style of music, the singer told the actor not to try and copy him exactly. “Don’t think you have to sing it exactly the way that I sang it. Don’t think you have to perform it the way I performed it," David Furnish (Elton’s husband) told The Hollywood Reporter about the advice the "Tiny Dancer" singer gave to the actor. 

Adding, “I think it’s the challenge for the actor to embody the spirit and not get into thinking they have to do an impersonation.”    

As for Taron, he was hesitant and somewhat nervous to perform a few particular songs in the film. "The rock songs," he said during an interview with BBC Radio 1. "I think because I'm not a rock singer... I've done bits of ballad singing and kind of pop stuff. I can sing, but real kind of gravely rock singing... that was a whole other challenge." 

He added, "It was something that Elton was very very keen that I pushed."
