Elton John is set to perform at an event hosted by President Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Friday, the White House announced.
The big picture: Celebrities like John are returning to the White House after refusing to visit during the Trump administration, per AP.
Details: The performance, which will take place on the South Lawn, is part of an event called "A Night When Hope and History Rhyme."
- The event is celebrating the "unifying and healing power of music," and will honor the "everyday history-makers in the audience," including teachers, nurses, frontline workers and LGBTQ+ advocates, per the White House.
Flashback: John previously performed at a White House state dinner during the Clinton administration but declined to perform at Trump's 2017 inauguration, NPR reports.
