George Michael will be donating the proceeds from his November 6 show at London's Royal Opera House to the Elizabeth Taylor Memorial Fund, a newly created charity which is part of the Sir Elton John Aids Foundation.

The pair had previously fallen out after George Michael criticised Elton John for trying to force him into seeking help for substance abuse problems.

George Michael said: "I have seen how HIV can affect people lives, how it can destroy families and communities. The way that the Elton John AIDS Foundation gets help to the people around the world who need it most - often the most marginalised communities - really spurred me on to do something.”

He went on to say:  “I also really wanted to honour the inspiring efforts that Elizabeth Taylor made - especially in the early years of the epidemic - and to mark her passing this year I am delighted to announce that the Elton John AIDS Foundation will use all the proceeds from this show to create and manage a new fund in her memory - The Elizabeth Taylor Memorial Fund."

Elton praised his "dear friend" for his generosity.

Elton's foundation has raised over £80 million since its inception in 1992.
