Madonna<\/a> has confirmed that she has \u2018finally buried the hatchet\u2019 with Sir Elton John<\/a>, bringing their explosive feud to an end.<\/p>\n

Things have been frosty between the Like A Virgin singer, 66, and Your Song star, 78, for more than two decades \u2013 and they have been trading barbs publicly ever since<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the Queen of Pop revealed that things have officially been smoothed over with her fellow music legend<\/a>, after she dropped in to \u2018confront him\u2019 backstage at SNL over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram<\/a>, she shared a photo of them both embracing for the camera, sharing that he had asked for \u2018forgiveness\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018We Finally Buried the Hatchet!!! I went to see @eltonjohn perform on SNL this weekend!! WOW,\u2019 she began a lengthy caption.<\/p>\n

\u2018I remembered when I was in high school – I snuck out of the house one night to see Elton perform live in Detroit!<\/p>\n

‘It was an unforgettable performance that helped me understand the transformative power of music.<\/p>\n

\u2018Seeing 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.<\/p>\n

\u2018Over the decades it hurt me to know that someone I admired so much shared his dislike of me publicly as an artist. I didn\u2019t understand it.\u2019<\/p>\n

Taking matters into her own hands, in the most Madonna way possible, she continued: \u2018I was told Elton John was the musical guest on SNL and I decided to go. I needed to go backstage and confront him.<\/p>\n

\u2018When I met him, the first thing out of his mouth was, \u201cForgive Me\u201d and the wall between us fell down. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. Within minutes. We were hugging.<\/p>\n

\u2018Then he told me had written a song for me and he wanted to collaborate. It was like everything came full circle!!<\/p>\n

\u2018And you can tell everybody , This is Your Song\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sliding into the comments below, Sir Elton offered a heartfelt response: \u2018@madonna\u00a0Thank you for coming to see me at SNL. And thank you for forgiving me and my big mouth. I\u2019m not proud of what I said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Particularly when I think about all the groundbreaking work you have done as an artist – paving the way for an entire generation of female artists to succeed and be true to themselves.<\/p>\n

\u2018You were also one of the very first people to rise up against HIV\/AIDS in the 80\u2019s, bringing love and compassion to so many who desperately needed it.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m grateful we can move forward. I\u2019m increasingly distressed by all the divisiveness in our world at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u2018Both you and I have wholeheartedly been accepted and embraced by communities who are under threat around the world,\u2019 he concluded. \u2018By pulling together, I\u2019m hopeful that we can make great things happen for those who really need support. And have a lot of fun doing it!!\u2019<\/p>\n

Sharing the image on his own Instagram story, Sir Elton – who recently released his new album, Who Believes In Angels – added: \u2018A healing moment, @madonna.\u2019<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, fans went wild for the twist, and flocked to the comments to share their surprise over the end of one of Hollywood\u2019s most vicious battles.<\/p>\n

Abdaddy commented: \u2018Like a Peace Treaty.\u2019<\/p>\n

Daniellamarcolini agreed: \u2018Forgiveness can save the world, Queen! What a beautiful story!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018No but really, why is this making me emotional???,\u2019 Anastaza replied.<\/p>\n

Fustergab was all of us, simply begging: \u2018Omg drop the collab!!!!\u2019<\/p>\n

As Madge and Sir Elton put an end to one of the biggest disputes in pop, we took a look back to how things all kicked off and got so <\/strong>messy…<\/p>\n

Sir Elton instigated their war of words while on stage at the Q Awards in 2004, leaving the audience \u2013 as well as the rest of us \u2013 totally in shock.<\/p>\n

Accepting the trophy for the classic songwriter trophy, he declared: \u2018Madonna, best f**king live act? F**k off. Since when has lip-syncing been live?<\/p>\n

‘Sorry about that but I think everyone who lip-syncs in public on stage when you pay \u00a375 to see them should be shot. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s me off her f**king Christmas card list, but do I give a toss? No.\u2019<\/p>\n
