Music legends Madonna and Sir Elton John have officially ended their decades-long feud, reconciling with a surprising and heartfelt reunion.
The pop superstars, who famously exchanged sharp insults for years, were seen warmly embracing backstage while participating in the latest episode of the popular American comedy show Saturday Night Live. Madonna, 66, shared the moment online, declaring, “We Finally Buried the Hatchet!”
Their feud began in the early 2000s when Elton, now 78, criticized Madonna’s theme song for the James Bond film Die Another Day, calling it “the worst Bond tune ever.” Over the years, tensions escalated, notably in 2007 when Elton accused Madonna of lip-synching during live performances. He revisited the criticism ahead of her 2012 Super Bowl halftime performance, sarcastically advising her to “lip-synch good.”
Their bitter exchanges reached a peak the same year, as Elton referred to Madonna as a “fairground stripper” and predicted her career was over. However, Madonna responded gracefully at the Golden Globes after winning Best Original Song, praising Elton as “brilliant” and adding, “I adore him, so he’ll win another award. I don’t feel bad.”
This unexpected reconciliation on Saturday signals a fresh start for the iconic musicians, marking an end to one of pop music’s most public feuds.
