Elton John has declared his love for Dolce and Gabbana, just days after encouraging fans to "boycott" the brand.
The 67-year-old singer heaped praise on the Italian design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who angered him earlier this week by branding kids conceived through fertility treatment "synthetic" and admitting they "opposed gay adoptions", during a Las Vegas show on March 18, reported TMZ.
"Listen, the band have been wearing Dolce and Gabbana, I love Dolce and Gabbana clothes," John said.
It is not known whether John, who has two sons Zachary, five, and Elijah, two, with husband David Furnish, was joking or appearing to end his feud with the pair.
The star's comments came as he was listing a number of people who have changed the world, including the Princess Diana and Nelson Mandela.
The singer announced last week he would boycott the brand after designer Domenico Dolce criticised IVF.
