Elton, 75 and Dolly, 77, have collaborated on a version of Elton's 1974 single 'Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me', which Dolly is a huge fan of, and they plan to release the track later this year.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Elton is a massive fan of Dolly — she is a gay icon, after all.
"He heard that she wanted to work with him and leapt at the chance."
The track will appear on Dolly's rock ‘n’ roll album, which will feature her own originals as well as covers of classic hits.
Back in December, Dolly revealed she had recorded Elton's iconic song for the record but wanted his input.
She said: "I’ve sent out a message asking if he would sing with me on it and possibly play the piano.
"So if y’all get to see him, say, ‘Dolly wants you to sing on her record!’”
Dolly, who was inducted into the Rock Roll Hall of Fame last year, revealed she wants to "earn" her spot on the list.
Recently Elton John had a rare interview with Joni Mitchel on which she Reveals New Live Album Plans
Elton told Joni: "One day I want you to sit in this room, like we're doing now, but with some recording equipment," John told Mitchell. "I want you to make an album".
Joni Mitchell has granted very few interviews since suffering a brain aneurysm in 2015, but she just sat down with Elton John for an in-depth conversation that will air appear Saturday on his Apple Music 1 show Elton John’s Rocket Hour. (Rolling Stone)
