Elton John and Madonna have officially ended their long-standing feud, much to the surprise of their fans. The two music legends, who had been embroiled in a highly publicized rivalry for years, recently addressed the issue and made amends.<\/p>\n
Madonna took to Instagram to share her side of the story, starting with the words, \u201cFinally buried the hatchet!!!\u201d She expressed how hurt she was over the years by Elton John\u2019s public criticisms, particularly his remarks about her as an artist. In her post, she recalled how she had once admired him deeply, having seen him perform live back in high school. Despite the tension between them, Madonna acknowledged Elton John\u2019s significant impact on her life and music career.<\/p>\n
The roots of their feud trace back to the 2004 Q Awards when Elton John, while accepting an award, infamously criticized Madonna, calling her performance \u201clip-syncing\u201d and suggesting that people who lip-sync in public should be \u201cshot.\u201d His comments were pointed enough that Madonna reportedly crossed him off her Christmas card list. The rivalry continued over the years, with Elton John\u2019s husband, David Furnish, criticizing the Golden Globe win of Madonna\u2019s song over Elton\u2019s in 2012, claiming the awards had become less about merit.<\/p>\n
However, things recently took a turn for the better. Madonna shared that she had confronted Elton John backstage at Saturday Night Live<\/em>, and he immediately apologized, saying, \u201cForgive me.\u201d This marked a significant shift in their relationship, signaling that the two stars had finally put their differences aside.<\/p>\n While their feud was once one of the most infamous in the entertainment industry, it seems that after years of tension, the \u201cRocket Man\u201d singer and the \u201cFrozen\u201d artist have reached a point of reconciliation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elton John and Madonna have officially ended their long-standing feud, much to the surprise of their fans.
