Elton John and Madonna’s Surprise Reunion Brings Closure to Their Famous Decades-Long Feud

Crooner Elton John has mended fences with pop star Madonna after publicly bashing the Material Girl’s talents and appearance — and now sources say the ailing singer wants to make peace with a long list of others before he kicks the bucket.

“Elton is taking steps to make amends — and not just with other famous folk,” an insider confides.

“He’s on a mission to clean up his side of the street before he kisses this life farewell. He’s dropping the diva act and treating people as they should be treated — like human beings, not slingshot targets.”

Madonna, 66, recently revealed that Elton, 78, ended their longtime feud by begging her forgiveness backstage at Saturday Night Live after his performance on the NBC show — more than a decade after labeling her a lip-syncher and saying she looked like a “f***king fairground stripper.”

The source points out the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road singer has upset plenty of people over the years — including Rod Stewart and Keith Richards, and the now-dead David Bowie and Princess Diana.

“To this day Elton talks about how relieved he is to have patched things up with Diana before she was killed in 1997 — and he now wants that sort of closure with other people,” the insider shares. “He knows he has been far from perfect and has a lot of apologies to give.”

The Rocket Man hitmaker has endured multiple health challenges — including prostate cancer, hip surgery and knee replacements. Most recently, he has also dealt with an eye infection that left him nearly blind and unable to see sons Zachary, 14, and Elijah, 12 — his children with husband David Furnish — playing sports.

“He’s very aware of his mortality. He talks about it all the time. He doesn’t want to leave a legacy with any unfinished business or any sort of negativity. He feels bad about all the tantrums and mean comments and wants a clean conscience,” the insider says.

“He’s reaching out in phone calls, letters, and seeing people in person. He’s desperate to have their forgiveness!”
