Elton John is reportedly enraged with U2 for not participating in a charity album he is planning, although if we believed the tabloids Elton would be constantly enraged about something.
Anyway, the Sunday Mirror say that Elton wanted to include a version of U2's 'New Year's Day' on an album he is releasing in aid of his Aids Foundation, but that representatives for Bono et al refused to get involved. A 'source' told the paper: "Elton is livid. He can't believe U2 refused to give permission to use New Year's Day. He thinks it's really bad form. Bono was one of the main protagonists for Live 8 and the Make Poverty History campaign which Elton was happy to do because it was such a brilliant cause. So you can imagine he was amazed - and a little let down to say the least."
