Elton John sang backing vocals and also played piano on the recording. John (Lennon) didn't think it would be successful. Elton John bet him it would hit #1 and that if it did, he wanted John to perform it with him live on stage.
John honored the bet and made a guest appearance at an Elton John concert on Thanksgiving night, 1974, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It turned out to be Lennon's last live performance.
(about :35 seconds into this video, you can hear him play a snippet of "I Feel Fine" as he's tuning his guitar)
