Madonna and Elton John finally kissed and made it up… and all that took was for her to stand behind the scenes on Saturday Night Live.
After being dumped in the trash by Elton in public for many years in public, Madonna decides she needs to talk to him in person… and she takes advantage of his presence in New York for a musical gig on “SNL.”
She says she went behind the scenes to confront Elton… and all the tension died instantly when he looked at her and blurted out, “Forgive me.” Madonna says Elton’s apology knocked down the wall between them and they hugged him.
Elton calls it a “healing moment.”
For many years, Elton ripped Madonna to public… He beat her theme song from the James Bond film “Diane Day,” and criticized her with lip-singling during a live performance, and was called “F**** Fairground Stripper,” among other criticisms.

Madonna says she hurt her over the decades she knows Elton hates her personally and as an artist. She says she went to see him perform on the day she was in high school and believes that she changed her life by helping her understand the transformative power of music…
But that’s all the water under the bridge now…and Madonna says Elton wrote a song for her and said she wanted to collaborate!!!
