The dispute between Madonna and Elton John It has officially finished. The two icons of music took a photo together behind the scenes in “Saturday Night Live” The weekend. John was the musical guest with Brandi Carlile. Madonna published the photo with John on her Instagram.
“We finally buried the ax!” Madonna wrote in the photo foot. “I went to see Elton John in ‘Snl’ this weekend !!! WOW!!! I remember that when I was at the institute, I escaped from home one night to see Elton live in Detroit. It was an unforgettable performance that helped me understand the transforming power of music. Seeing him act in the institute changed the course of my life. I had always felt like a little stranger, and seeing him on stage helped me understand that it was well to be different, highlight, take the way less traveled. In fact, it was essential.
“For decades it hurt to know that someone I admired both publicly shared their antipathy towards me as an artist.”he continued. “I didn’t understand it. They told me that Elton John was the musical guest of ‘Snl’ and I decided to go. I needed to go behind the scenes and confront him. When I saw him, the first thing he said was: ‘Forgive me’, and the wall that separated us collapsed. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. In a matter of minutes we were hugging”
Madonna finished her publication with a joke for her fans: “[Elton] He told me that he had written a song for me and that he wanted to collaborate. It was as if everything was closed! “
For his part Elton John responded in the comments section and gave details about the apologies: “Thanks for coming to see SNL. And thanks for forgiving me and my great mouth. I am not proud of what I said. Especially when I think of all the innovative work you have done as an artist – paving the way for a whole generation of female artists to triumph and be faithful to themselves. You were also one of the first people to get up against HIV/AIDS in the 80s, bringing love and compassion to so many who desperately needed it. “
“I am grateful that we can move forward. I am increasingly distressed by the division in our world at this time. Both you and I have been accepted and welcomed unconditionally by threatened communities worldwide. If we join, I hope we can achieve great things for those who really need support. And enjoy it a lot! “Concluded the musician.
The origin of the conflict between Madonna and Elton John
The dispute between Madonna and Elton John dates back to the 2004 Q awards, where John publicly insulted Madonna by accepting the award to the classic composer.
“Madonna, better live performance? That’s fucking!”said John. “Since when is the playback live? I’m sorry, but I think they should shoot all those who do playback in public when you pay about 75 pounds to see them. Thank you very much. They take away from their Christmas card list, but do I care?
When Madonna got the Super Bowl part -time show in 2012, John reacted on the “Good Morning America” program telling him that “He will make sure to make a good lip synchronization”.
“His tour is a disaster and he couldn’t pass anyone else,” John told the Australian channel 7 program that same year. “If Madonna had common sense, he would have made an album like ‘Ray of Light’, he would have moved away from dance and would have limited himself to being a great pop singer and to make great pop album, something that does wonderful. But no … and it looks like a fucking fair of fair.”
