Sir Elton John will leave hospital within the next 24 hours.

The legendary British singer is reportedly getting better after contracting bacterial infection E.Coli and a severe bout of influenza, and is hoping to resume his touring commitments in two weeks after cancelling a number of upcoming shows.

Billy Joel has split from his third wife. The "Piano Man" singer - who was previously wed to his business manager Elizabeth Weber Small and supermodel Christie Brinkley - and chef Katie Lee Joel have ended their marriage but insist the break-up is amicable.

Billy's spokeswoman said: "After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate. The decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each other."

Pink wants to "rock" on Sir Elton John's piano and perform with Billy Joel. The singer has revealed her musical to-do list, which also includes teaming up with former Fugees star Lauren Hill.

She said: "I'd love to rock on Elton John's piano and play with Billy Joel. I'd love to duet with Lauren Hill too."
