Madonna reconciles with Elton John after decades long feud, writes, "We Finally Buried the Hatchet"

Elton John and Madonna have been feuding for two decades

Hollywood singers Madonna and Elton John had been feuding for more than two decades. The duo’s dish about each other often made headlines. Their feud further intensified after Elton accused Madonna of lip-syncing during 2004 Q Awards. However, the singers have finally put an end to their fight.

Madonna took to her Instagram and shared a photo with Elton John. Alongside the photo, she expressed her excitement about Elton’s upcoming SNL performance and revealed that they had finally “buried the hatchet.”

Madonna wrote in the caption, “We Finally Buried the Hatchet!!! I went to see @eltonjohn perform on SNL this weekend!! WOW. I remembered when I was in high school- I snuck out of the house one night to see Elton perform live in Detroit! It was an unforgettable performance that helped me understand the transformative power of music.”

She added, “Seeing him perform when I was in high school changed the course of my life. I had always felt like an outsider growing up and watching him on stage helped me to understand that it was OK to be different-to stand out- to take the road, less traveled by. In fact, it was essential.”

The singer wrote, “Over the decades it hurt me to know that someone I admired so much shared his dislike of me publicly as an artist. I didn’t understand it. I was told Elton John was the musical guest on SNL and I decided to go.”
