Boy George has patched up his turbulent friendship with Sir Elton John after the Rocket Man star sent him a music player while he was locked up injail.

The former Culture Club frontman was sentenced to 15 months for assaultand false imprisonment over his attack on a male escort in 2007.

He was released on parole in May (09), and insists he used his stint behind bars productively - by making up with old pals.

And he was especially touched when superstar John wrote to him and senthim a gift, as he had fallen out with the singer after he called him a "humourless grand old dame" to the press.

He also sent me a lovely music player. Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas, Antony Hegarty and Holly Johnson wrote to me tooBoy George

He tells Britain's Sunday Express, Elton offered me love and support from both himself and David (Furnish). He also sent me a lovely music player. Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas, Antony Hegarty and Holly Johnson wrote to me too.

The only time I got emotional in prison was when I got letters from friends. People that beforehand I wouldn't have thought I could rely on. It was really humbling.

I did have a falling out with Elton a few years ago because I was being a bitch but we made up and we're really good friends again.
