Sir Elton John will perform with Mary J Blige at his annual Oscar party on Sunday night.

The duo will sing together at John's AIDS Foundation Academy Awards to help raise funds for the charity.

John founded the charity in 1992 and has raised $125 million in 16 years. It has not yet been revealed what song they will play.

In a statement, Blige said: "Elton John is one of the most inspirational musicians and philanthropists in this industry for me.

"I respect him with all my heart, and it is truly a pleasure to be performing with him on such an important night as we look to raise awareness and vital funds for the fight against HIV/AIDS."

Blige and John have teamed up before on a rendition of 'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues' that featured on the albums Mary J Blige & Friends and Elton John One Night Only - The Greatest Hits.
