At the 2004 Q magazine awards, where Elton John received the Classic Songwriter Award, the British musician said of Madonna’s nomination: “Madonna, best live act, f**k off! Since when was lip-synching live?”
Before her 2012 US Superbowl half-time show, he reiterated the claims, saying, “Make sure you lip-synch good.”
The same year, John’s husband, David Furnish, criticized the Queen of Pop after she took home a Golden Globe for Best Original Song over John.
“Madonna winning best original song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit,” David wrote on Facebook. “Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism.”
This year, the stars announced that they had ended their years-long feud after reuniting backstage at SNL. Posting a photo of the two musicians hugging, the Vogue singer shared that she has been a lifelong fan of John and admitted that it “hurt” hearing John’s comments over the years.
Madonna said that the first words out of John’s mouth were “forgive me,” after which “the wall between us fell down.” She added: “Forgiveness is a powerful tool. Within minutes, we were hugging.”
