Because nobody asked him!

Elton John came out of the closet in a 1976 issue of Rolling Stone, but in a recent interview with Matt Lauer on The Today Show, the rock star explained that he would have come out sooner had someone asked.

However, coming out was the least of his concerns. He revealed that he feels guilty for wasting such a big part of his life to live the rock and roll lifestyle instead of joining the fight against AIDS in the early 80s.

Now he's making up for lost time and is not only raising massive amounts of money for a cure, but he's fighting the stigma associated with the disease, as well as discrimination against the LGBT community.

Watch Elton's inspirational interview (above) to find out why he feels lucky to be alive, how he's honoring those who lost their lives to AIDS and how he feels about Barack Obama's support for same-sex marriage.

Elton John's party was DEF the place to be following Sunday night's Oscars!

One of the standout partiers at the event was Vanessa Hudgens, who arrived at the party with Ashley Tisdale. Vanessa wore a silver Marchesa minidress, and she was totally pumped to see Florence + The Machine perform.

Here's what a party-goer had to say about Vanessa:

"She seemed so carefree and happy…she had tons of energy. She didn't mind the cameras at all and was loving the limelight."

Florence + The Machine had quite a set, which included a Tiny Dancer duet with Elton John.

Other guests included:

- The Kids Are All Right's Josh Hutcherson, who joined Vanessa's dance group.

- Tangled/Chuck star Zachary Levi, who chatted with Hudgens

- The Glee crew, including Chris Colfer, Jane Lynch & wifey Lara Embry, Dianna Agron & Jenna Ushkowitz, and Matthew Morrison who hung with Olivia Munn Chace Crawford.

-Kim Kardashian and friend Jonathan Cheban

-Nicole Richie and new hubby Joel Madden

-Prince, who stopped by late…because he's Prince

We're glad to hear that it sounds like a wonderful time! We hope the party made lots and lots of $$$ to benefit John's AIDS Foundation.
