The Elton John-Madonna feud heated up again this week following comments by Elton in an Australian interview.
“Her career is over, I can tell you that,” Elton told Molly Meldrum at Saturday Night. “Her tour has been a disaster. It couldn’t happen to a bigger c***.”
He also slammed her choice of material for the “MDNA” album, saying “If Madonna had any common sense, she would have made a record like ‘Ray of Light’ and stayed away from the dance stuff, and just been a great pop singer and make great pop records, which she does brilliantly.”
Madonna has not commented publicly on Elton’s recent attack, but a friend of hers reportedly told the Huffington Post, "I honestly do not understand his need to trash the crap out of her over and over again. He says she has no authority, but apparently he has authority? He needs to hate on her."
“To say her tour is a disaster is just silly. She is selling out arenas, singing new material and a few classic hits. He will be singing the same old songs until he dies,” added the source.
"Ultimately, she doesn’t care what he has to say about her in public or private," summed up the friend. "She has nothing to prove to anyone, especially Elton John."
