Last year Lionel Richie went off on stage after Diana Ross went to Beyoncé's birthday concert, rather than appear with him to sing their blockbuster duet, "Endless Love [click here if you missed that ]."
Recently Richie and Ross performed at the same festival and Diana STILL refused to sing with him...

Soul music fans in Los Angeles are still talking about the Fool in Love Festival held August 31st.
The day — cut down from two to one — brought together dozens of classic soul artists each of whom performed for about 20 minutes. They included Gladys Knight, Al Green, Chaka Khan, and Santana.
Most fans complained that the festival was “chaotic” and that it took place not in a theater or a stadium, but a parking lot.
Top billed for the day were Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, former Motown labelmates who had a smash hit back in 1981 with the song “Endless Love.” Richie wrote the song for the movie of the same title. The movie was a bust but the song has gone on to be covered hundreds of times.
It did seem from the advertising that Ross and Richie would sing together. But fans were disappointed to learn that the two singers don’t speak to each and don’t sing their famous duet ever. They each have performed it in solo shows, though, so it’s not that there aren’t charts for the musicians.
But Ross appeared at 8pm for a medley of hits. Richie came on at 9:30pm. But no “Endless Love” from either of them.
