Elton John has reportedly recruited Atlanta rapper Young Thug for a new remix of his track "Rocket Man."

According to The FADER, a Face Time meeting between the two was set up by Lyor Cohen, the CEO of Thug's label 300 Entertainment.

From there, John sent Thug an instrumental version of his 1972 classic "Rocket Man" and a remix was born.

"It's all the instrumental, the guitar, piano; and Thug is not rapping, he's singing," an insider said. "It's really ambient and amazing."

John initially made it known that he was a fan of Young Thug during an interview with Noisey from last December.

"I actually asked Universal Music CEO David Joseph about it. I heard a track on Beats 1 and I loved it so much.

But he's got himself into trouble, hasn't he?" he said at the time.

There is no word on when their collaboration will be released.
