George Michael to
attend Elton John's wedding

George Michael says he will end his public feud with Elton John by attending the latter's wedding to David Furnish later this month. Agence France-Presse reports that Michael himself will enter into one of the United Kingdom's new civil partnerships with Kenny Goss, but probably not until next summer. "I don't want a wedding as such, but I think we will probably sign the papers on our 10th anniversary, which is in June," Michael told a Tokyo news conference that Goss attended. Michael went on to note that it is a pity that more Japanese pop stars don't feel comfortable coming out. "It makes me very sad to hear that it's not easy for Japanese artists to do so. Because actually now in Britain it really doesn't matter. We have several openly gay pop stars, and the girls don't seem to mind," he said, smiling. "I think different parts of the world are dealing at different speeds, but I think it's very hard for a culture to remain prejudiced against a group of people when the whole of the world is changing."
