Perhaps an unexpected byproduct of Global Citizen's "Together At Home" virtual charity concert, which was broadcast live on Saturday, was getting to see celebrities perform in their own homes — and some of their backdrops seemed to be oddly ordinary.
For example, Charlie Puth sang a falsetto-filled version of "See You Again" in front of his unmade bed; and music legend Sir Elton John performed "I'm Still Standing" in what looked like a backyard with basketballs and a hoop behind his grand piano.
Fans and viewers of Elton John's performance shared their reactions to his seemingly random setup.
"I'd like to believe that Elton John's piano is always on a basketball court and that he shoots hoops in between songs in his downtime," one user wrote.

People watching the concert could not get over the Grammy-winning icon's unexpectedly relatable setup.
"Elton John had a basketball hoop and a recycling bin plainly visible in his performance for the entire world, so I'm good to go from my driveway without even cleaning up," another Twitter user wrote.

Elton John's performance was just one portion of the 8-hour concert curated by Lady Gaga, which, in partnership with Global Citizen and the WHO, raised $127.9 million as of Sunday for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
