Kelly Clarkson has ended a high profile feud with BMG label boss Clive Davis, saying via her official website that he is an "important force" in her success despite their recent disagreements over material for her new album.
Clarkson writes: "I really regret how this has turned out and I apologise to those whom I have done disservice. I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly-knit family. Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it's respect and admiration that will keep us together".
