George Michael has finally ended his bitter feud with Elton and as a peace offering, he's given him permission to use their 1991 duet "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" for an album of duets Elton plans to release later this year.

The superstars fell out in November 2004 after Elton accused George Michael of being an unhappy drug-user and branded his album PATIENCE "disappointing".

The FAITH star famously hit back, by writing an open letter to Britain's Heat magazine, urging fans to ignore Elton's comments, arguing that Elton has hardly spoken to him in the last decade and knows very little about his private life.

Elton tried to settle their differences in December 2004 but complained George Michael refused to take his phone calls on five occasions.

But George Michael recently invited his former pal to his north London home to discuss their rift over a dinner, cooked by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

George Michael's close friend says, "They're both delighted that the feud is over. George invited Elton to have dinner secretly at his house a couple of weeks ago and it was quite an occasion.

"Gordon did most of the cooking and George and Elton spent most of the time creased up laughing as they reminded each other of hilarious stories from the past."
