Rage Against The Machine are hoping to make peace with Simon Cowell, by inviting Susan Boyle to sing with them on stage.

The rock band took the Christmas number one spot from Simon Cowell’s X Factor act Joe McElderry, as the result of a huge internet campaign. Cowell had blasted campaign supporters for bullying young Joe and was not amused when he was kept off the top spot.

RATM now plan to stage a huge victory gig on June 6th in Finsbury Park and are planning to ask Simon if his act Susan Boyle can appear on stage with them.

Frontman Zack told The Sun: “I really hope there are no hard feelings with Simon.

“He seemed to think that it was a bullying campaign but the truth is the British people wanted a change.

“I don’t think anybody has heard anything of that Joe guy since Christmas, but we have nothing against him.

“The truth is Simon’s shows occasionally produce talent.

“We love Susan Boyle, she is hot.

“To show there are no hard feelings we would like her to perform with us on stage this summer.

“She is a great vocalist and we would love to perform Killing In The Name with her. Everybody knows her in the US and she can add her vocals to anything. It would be an honour for us.”
