Madonna and Elton John make up after 20-year feud: ‘Forgiveness is a powerful tool’

BBG News

Over the course of many years, Elton John has spoken quite a bit about Madonna. More recently, however, he extended a concise apology to his fellow pop legend with just two words: “I forgive you.

On Monday, Madge posted on Instagram that she and the artist famously known as “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” singer have officially ended their long-standing public feud which spanned over two decades. The pop sensation behind “Hung Up” shared a picture of John embracing her backstage following his recent “Saturday Night Live” performance. In the caption for the image, she wrote, “We’ve Finally Put Our Differences to Rest!!!”.

Elton John shares that he’s been dealing with a serious eye condition he picked up over the summer, which has resulted in reduced sight in one of his eyes.

For quite some time now, John has openly expressed his less-than-flattering opinions about Madonna, frequently in public forums. As far back as 2002, the “Rocket Man” vocalist voiced his disapproval of Madonna’s James Bond theme song, “Die Another Day,” calling it the “most dreadful Bond tune ever.” Throughout the years, he has also made disparaging remarks about Madonna’s live singing skills and in 2012 referred to her as a “fairground stripper.

In her Instagram post, Madonna expressed that she had admired John since her youth and didn’t comprehend why someone she respected so deeply would express dislike for her as an artist in public. Upon learning that John was set to return to Studio 8H in New York to promote his fresh music with Brandi Carlile, Madonna stated that she felt compelled to go backstage and speak with him about it.

Initially encountering him, his very first words were, “Forgive Me,” and lo and behold, the barrier separating us crumbled, shared the iconic singer, Madonna, aged 66. Forgiveness possesses immense power. In a matter of moments, we found ourselves embracing warmly.

In the comments section, John mirrored Madonna’s excitement about rebuilding their relationship and expressed gratitude towards her for stopping by and for “forgiving my thoughtless remarks.” He acknowledged that he is “ashamed” of his past words and commended Madonna on her groundbreaking career and enduring impact, stating that she has served as an inspiration to countless female artists throughout the years.

As a dedicated cinema enthusiast, I’d share that personally, after battling a harsh summer eye infection, my vision has taken a hit. This condition has unfortunately impacted my capacity to create fresh tunes in the studio.

Additionally, he praised her for her advocacy work on HIV/AIDS during the 1980s, much like Madonna. He expressed gratitude about progress being made in this era of division and admitted that he had been troubled by the discord, expressing his relief that we can now push forward.

John added: “We’ve both found warm welcomes in communities worldwide that are facing challenges. If we join forces, I believe we can create remarkable change for those who desperately require our assistance.

In her latest update, Madonna subtly suggested that she and John might transition from being mere friends into working partners: They’re set to be collaborators. She revealed that the “Tiny Dancer” artist shared with her during their meeting that he had penned a song for her and was eager to team up for a collaboration.

“It was like everything came full circle,” Madonna said.

In response to a collective lawsuit concerning Madonna’s late shows, her lawyers have proposed dismissing the case, arguing that the two-hour delays did not cause any harm to ticket holders.

After enduring a tough summer with a severe eye infection that impacted my vision, I found myself in a challenging situation. Back in September, I shared that the aftermath of this infection left me with limited sight in one eye. Since then, I’ve been undergoing treatment to manage my condition. Months later, I had to admit that I have completely lost my eyesight, making it impossible for me to enjoy the West End production of “The Devil Wears Prada” musical adaptation – a project close to my heart.

Before his appearance on “Saturday Night Live”, John shared details about his condition in an interview with the London Times that was published on Friday. He expressed, “I can’t watch my sons play rugby and soccer, and it has been a challenging time as I’m accustomed to enjoying every moment of it.

It can be upsetting, yet it’s something you need to adjust to, as I consider myself fortunate for the life I lead.
