The two were with a group, also including John’s husband David Furnish, at La Petite Maison in Cannes.
Per TMZ, footage of their dinner was captured and shared by the musical group The Snugglers, who performed for their table.
The group posted a video of them serenading John, Spacey, and their dinner guests, confirming their identities.
They captioned the post, ‘We had the chance to perform for those absolute legends : Sir @eltonjohn & @kevinspacey ! In this clip sir Elton is singing with us @lapetitemaison_nice ❤️🥰🤩 feeling blessed 😇.’

Spacey denied all charges, including but not limited to allegedly groping and forcing penetrative sex.
The trial, which began on June 30, concluded on July 26 after 12 hours of jury deliberation, according to BBC News.
The actor was found not guilty of nine counts of alleged sexual assault in London’s Southwark Crown Court, with the other initial charges struck out.
Speaking outside court following the verdict, Spacey said he was ‘humbled’ by the jury’s verdict, per BBC News.
The ‘Tiny Dancer’ singer was among the key defense witnesses and testified on July 17. The musician appeared via video link from Monaco to give evidence in the trial.
According to the Associated Press, the performer was questioned about an allegation that Spacey aggressively grabbed a man’s genitals while he was being driven to his ‘White Tie and Tiara’ party in 2004 or 2005.
The same day as John’s testimony, David Furnish also appeared as a defense witness regarding the claim.
