Madonna and Elton John squash longtime feud backstage at SNL: We finally buried the hatchet!

Saturday night’s alright for reconciling.That’s what happened when two living music legends — Madonna, 66, and Elton John, 78 — squashed their longtime beef at “Saturday Night Live” this weekend when the Rocket Man was the musical guest with Brandi Carlile.“We Finally Buried the Hatchet!!!” the Queen of Pop announced in an Instagram post alongside a pic of her with John backstage at “SNL” set to the tune of his classic “Your Song.”“Over the decades it hurt me to know that someone I admired so much shared his dislike of me publicly as an artist,” Madonna wrote about their feud.“I didn’t understand it.”Attending the “Saturday Night Live” taping in New York with her boyfriend Akeem Morris, 28, Madonna was clearly out to express herself to John.“I was told Elton John was the musical guest on SNL and I decided to go,” she wrote.

“I needed to go backstage and confront him.”However, there was no knock-down, drag-out fight between the two superstars.“When I met him, the first thing out of his mouth was, ‘Forgive Me’ and the wall between us fell down,” Madonna wrote.“Forgiveness is a powerful tool.Within minutes.

We were hugging.”There was even talk about the two music icons working together.“Then he told me had written a song for me and he wanted to collaborate,” Madonna wrote.“It was like everything came full circle!!”Madonna also shared how John was an important influence on her as an artist.“I remembered when I was in high school — I snuck out of the house one night to see Elton perform live in Detroit,” she said.

“It was an unforgettable performance that helped me understand the transformative power of music.“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.”...
