Three years before his breakthrough performance as Elton John in "Rocketman", Taron Egerton covered one of the legend's 80's hits in "Sing".
As Johnny, the teenage son of a mobster, Egerton nails a faithful cover of John's 1983 hit, "I'm Still Standing", which inspires pops to bust out of jail for a family reunion. The balance of the clip includes a portion of Queen & David Bowie's 1982 hit, "Under Pressure":
I really have to rent the movie before the sequel comes out around Christmas.

I'm surprised this movie didn't have any Rick James songs covered.
Probably wasn't considered appropriate, and Rick had passed on before the movie came out.
He died in 2004 and this film came out in 2016. The song Ben by the late Michael Jackson was performed in this film and he died in 2009. It was covered by a giraffe named Daniel. https://sing.fandom.com/wiki/Ben
If that clip shows up, I'll post it.
