Prince showed up at Elton's Red Piano show in Las Vegas on February 8, 2007, and the British rock legend returned the favor the day after by turning up at Prince's 3121 Club.

The unusually chatty Prince gave a shout-out to Sir Elton: "You tore that piano up," he said, and urged the audience to "Go check out his show; it's a lot to see."

Elton, like Prince, is doing a semi-permanent performance-in-residence in Vegas. And with that kind of endorsement, who could resist taking the stage? Elton eschewed the ivories in favor of a standup rendition of "The Long and Winding Road," with Prince's band -- minus Prince.

Afterwards, Elton said, "You never know what's gonna happen in Las Vegas, Baby."
