The pop world is now more harmonious. The heavy weights of music Madonna and Elton John made up. The two had been in a public war for over two decades.
The conflict between Madonna and Elton John came to an end. The announcement made by the singer through a post on the social network Instagram. “Finally we buried the war ax”he wrote.
A 66-year-oldreveals that the two musicians resumed relationships after they went to attend the performance of the Briton, 78 years oldin the American Comedy Program Saturday Night Live (SNL).
“I heard that Elton John was going to be the musical guest on SNL and decided to go. Needed to go backstage and confront it“, account.
“When I found him, the first thing that came out of his mouth was:“ Forgive me, ”he says.“ The wall between us fell. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. In minutes we were hugging us. ”
Madonna remembers how, in adolescence, she was the admirer of Elton John and that He even left the house hidden to see him act.
“When I was at the secondary school, one night I left home to go to see Elton playing in Detroit. It was an unforgettable performance that helped me to perceive the transforming power of music,” writes the singer, in the publication made on Instagram.
“Seeing him act, when he was in secondary education, changed the course of my life. I always felt excluded by growing and Seeing him on stage helped me understand that it was not bad to be different”, He stresses.
That’s why, he says, Over the decades, he felt “hurt” to know that “someone who admired so much” publicly shared that he didn’t like himself as an artist.
The story of a long “steak”
The disagreement between the two musicians was over twenty years. It all started in 2002when Elton John stated that “Die Another Day,” Madonna’s song for one of James Bond movies was “the worst” of the whole franchise. The singer defended, at the time, that the theme would sound better in the voice of singers like Lulu, Shirley Bassey or even his own.
The feud continued when, two years later, During a prize ceremony, in which Madonna was named for the trophy of best live performance, Elton John took the stage to receive a prize and suggested that the singer only played playback.
“Anyone who plays on stage when you paid to see her should be shot”He shot, adding that he did not want to know if the words took him out of the “Christmas card list” sent by Madonna.
The singer will still have shown regret shortly after, and He even invited Madonna to work at her single farewell party. An invitation that the singer refused.
After that, the ‘chatter’ continued. Already In 2012, at the Golden Globes Ceremonywhen Both musicians were appointed to the best original song award, Elton John stated that Madonna “had no hypotheses” against him. The singer would eventually take the prize home.
The British musician would still say, after that, that Madonna was a “great singer”, who made “great pop songs”, but who It behaved like a “fair stripper”.
Insults and hurts that are now behind. According to Madonna herself, After asking forgiveness, Elton John will have told her that he wrote a song for her and wants a musical collaboration between the two.
And it seems that the ‘Pop Queen’ will have been convinced, as the Instagram publication ends with a reference to “Your Song”, song by Elton John.
