SIR ELT'S MUCH O-BLIGE-D

The fab twosome get ready to rework an [b]Elton[/b] classic...

Following their collaboration on her current album, 'MARY', soul diva MARY J. BLIGE and SIR ELTON JOHN are to work together again.

Sir Elton is currently in the studio working on a new album,and looks set to re-record 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', his former Number One duet with Kiki Dee, with Blige as his singing partner.

For those who are worried that Blige is neglecting her soulful roots, fear not. She will be releasing a new album, 'Mary Vol 2', early next year.

'Vol 2' will contain more 'urban' material than 'Mary', which will help reiterate Blige's reputation as 'The Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul'.
