Af fter hi his miraclei l recovery from a life-threatenin­g i illness last month, Sir Elton J John is taking stock of what r really matters. Last week it was revealed h he’s ended his almost d decade-long rift with his m mother, Sheila Farebrothe­r. T The singer, 70, publicly wished Sheila a happy Mother’s Day on Twitter and said he was “so happy” to be back in touch. Tensions between Elton and his mum came to a head iin 2008,8 whenh Sh Sheilail refusedf d to cut ties with the star’s ex-manager and one-time lover John Reid, as well as his former assistant Bob Halley. She also publicly insulted Elton’s husband David Furnish, 54, blaming him for her distance from her son.

Now she’s back in her famous son’s life, it’s thought Sheila, 92 – who once claimed Elton “hated” her – is keen to meet her grandsons Zachary, six, and Elijah, four.

“She’d love Elton to bring them over and has asked, but so far it hasn’t happened,” a source says.
