George Michael and Elton John's Secret Duet "This Kind Of Love" Could Finally Be Released After 30 Years

Music history could be about to repeat itself. George Michael’s former manager has revealed that the late pop legend recorded an unreleased duet with close friend Elton John called“This Kind Of Love”over 30 years ago, and there’s now a serious push to finally release it. Both artists recorded their vocal parts separately, and the goal is to combine them posthumously, though approval from Elton John would be required. According to the manager, Elton was absolutely blown away by the track and would likely jump at the chance to let fans hear it.

The revelation comes as George Michael’s vault continues to reveal incredible lost collaborations that never saw the light of day. This isn’t the first time the two legends worked together – they famously recorded a chart-topping remake of“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”in the 1990s and performed an unforgettable set together at Live Aid in 1985. Their friendship was genuine and deep, which makes the possibility of a new duet even more meaningful. Since George’s passing in December 2016, Elton has consistently honored his memory through performances and tributes, most notably at his Glastonbury headline set in 2023.

Beyond this duet, George’s former manager is also promoting a film titled“Trojan Souls”that explores the artist’s shelved 1993 album project, which was supposed to feature collaborations with Stevie Wonder, Sade, Seal, and Aretha Franklin. It’s clear that George Michael left behind a treasure trove of unreleased material. The question now is whether Elton John will greenlight the release of“This Kind Of Love”and give fans the gift they’ve been waiting for. Would you want to hear this duet if it gets released?
