Pop icons Madonna and Sir Elton John have seemingly put their differences behind them after a heartwarming encounter on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The pair have had a strained relationship for over two decades, with John publicly criticizing Madonna’s music and live performances.
However, in a surprise turn of events, Madonna recently revealed that the two have “buried the hatchet” after watching Elton John perform alongside Brandi Carlile on SNL. According to Madonna, their encounter reminded her of a pivotal moment in her life when she watched John perform in Detroit as a teenager.
The singer has long felt hurt by John’s past public disses, but it appears that their meeting at SNL led to an apology and a potential collaboration. In response to the news, John thanked Madonna for forgiving him and expressed his gratitude for her advocacy work in the 1980s.
Both artists now appear to be looking forward to working together, with John expressing hope to “make great things happen” for communities under threat around the world. The reconciliation marks a positive turn in their relationship, as both musicians continue to inspire and entertain fans worldwide.
