Prince and Madonna End Decades-Long Feud
Saturday, 22 January 2011
Holiday, celebrate!
Fellow music superstars Prince and Madonna appear to have ended their decades-long feud.
The Material Girl, 52, was among the celebrities cheering on Prince's sold-out Tuesday show at NYC's Madison Square Garden. (Other A-listers in attendance: Jimmy Fallon, Donald and Melania Trump and an awestruck Leighton Meester, whom Prince serenaded onstage.)
During the show, an attendee reports that Prince, also 52, made a good-natured joke about the high price of Madonna's concert tickets. 'I know I'm expensive!' he joshed, then making a friendly call-out to Madonna by name.
Things were far less friendly between the pair, who briefly dated in 1985 and who dueted on 'Love Song,' a track from Madonna's 1988 Like a Prayer album.
Madonna sniped in an interview that Prince was a 'little troll,' and quipped in 1994 that he wouldn't eat during a dinner date. 'He was just sipping tea, very daintily,' Madonna said. 'I have this theory about people who don't eat. They annoy me.'
For his part, Prince slammed Madonna - and her growing brood of children - during a 2007 concert in London, sniping, 'I got so many hits y'all can't handle me. I got more hits than Madonna's got kids.'

I'm not sure Jimmy Fallon belongs in the phrase "Other A-listers in attendance...." Madonna, yes. Donald trump, yes. Jimmy Fallon B- or C-lister at best.

Madonna and Prince were photographed hugging at a 2007 post Oscars party - being a long time fan of both I was thrilled to finally see a pic of them together, so all this talk of a feud in the press is much hyped and mostly bull.
