The Mirror is reporting that George Michael plans to duet with Adele.

My source tells me: “George is working on his album for the first time since his life-threatening illness and he’s in great shape.

“It is no secret that he adores Adele. He even left his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz in Australia for three days while he flew in to present Adele with her Brit.

“They’ve become pals since then and are talking about doing something together.

“He is very supportive of British talent and he likes it that Adele keeps it real.”

In the past, George has collaborated with Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Mary J Blige. Now he has set his sights on Tottenham’s finest Adele, who cleaned up at the Grammys.

My mole adds: “Adele has been an admirer of George’s tunes for as long as she can remember and was so touched that George presented her Brit award.”
