This version of the video serves as the ending to the 2019 biopic Rocketman, with Taron Egerton (portraying John) rotoscoped in to recreate memorable scenes from the original music video. In 2019, the original 16mm film negatives were re-scanned and the computer graphics were recreated, forming a new, remastered version of the promotional video. The next morning, John awoke with a hangover and wandered into his personal assistant's room-which was 'leveled'-and asked him 'What happened?' His assistant laughed: 'You happened!' It caused all sorts of chaos – but it was a great party. We got him so drunk that eventually he went upstairs and threw a wobbler in his suite. 'Ooh, you are lovely boys,' he screeched, loving every minute of it. We decided it would be a laugh to get him drunk and we were slinging the drinks down him. This was before Elton became teetotal, so he was still a steaming party animal we went up to see him at his hotel and spent the afternoon getting blasted on martinis.

There were lots of celebrities around in Cannes and one day we discovered that Elton John was in town, filming the video for his song 'I'm Still Standing'. In his book Wild Boy: My Life in Duran Duran, Andy Taylor writes of the experience:

'So I did,' John later recalled, 'I had six.' Simon Le Bon decided John should have a martini. He complained he was exhausted at having been up since 4 o'clock in the morning. During the shoot for the video, John came across Duran Duran. Therefore, it had to be filmed again on another day.
