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 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.
