Earlier this year, Madonna faced a backlash from fans after she defied a ban on waving guns on stage at her Murrayfield gig.

The Queen of Pop ignored warnings from officials as she waved her pistol and AK47 rifle during a performance in Murrayfield, a mere 36 hours after the cinema massacre at 'The Dark Night Rises' premiere in Denver.

Madonna's relationship has been strained since Gaga released 'Born This Way' and Madonna repeatedly compared it to her 1989 hit 'Express Yourself'.

Despite this, Madonna told fans at her concert in Atlantic City: “I love her – imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

Oooh we hope Gaga and Madonna can bury the hatchet sometime soon. After all they’re both excellent in their own right!

Elton John Slams Madonna: 'Her Career Is Over'

Singer also lashes out at Queen of Pop's appearance and her treatment of Lady Gaga.

Elton John has taken his war of words with Madonna to a whole new level.

Talking to Australia's Channel 7 program on Sunday, John said (via ABC News) that the pop queen's "career is over" and insulted her appearance, saying she "she looks like a f---ing fairground stripper."

The pair have been feuding for years, but his latest attack on Madge seemed especially mean-spirited. Asked about the diva, who's currently touring the world on her hugely successful but bad press-plagued MDNATour, John said, "Why is she such a nightmare? Her career is over, I can tell you that. Her tour has been a disaster and it couldn't happen to a bigger cu--."

But he didn't stop there. John went on to offer up a backhanded compliment while dismissing Madonna's most recent album, MDNA,before insulting her looks and complaining that she has been rude to his friend, Lady Gaga.

"If Madonna had any common sense, she would have made a record likeRay of Light, stayed away from the dance stuff and just been a great pop singer and made great pop records, which she does brilliantly," John continued. "But no, she had to prove that she was like ... and she looks like a f---ing fairground stripper."

He went on to complain, "She's been so horrible to [Lady] Gaga."

John and Madonna have long been involved in a bitter feud. Earlier this year, at the Golden Globe Awards, John dismissed Madonna's chances of taking home the Best Original Song prize for her "W.E." balled, "Masterpiece." When she did best John's "Gnomeo and Juliet" duet with Lady Gaga, "Hello, Hello," for the award, his husband, David Furnish went on a Facebook tirade against the Material Girl, writing, "Madonna.

 Best song???? F--K off! ... Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism."

John previously blasted Madonna in 2004 after she won the Q Music Magazine for Best Live Act, charging, "Madonna, best f---ing live act? F--- off. Since when has lip-synching been live?"

Madonna Explains MDNA Tour Gunplay As 'Metaphors'

Madonna

You can't spell Madonna without "controversy." OK, maybe you can, but the legendary pop singer has made headlines for nearly four decades thanks to her proclivity for outrageous behavior.

The recently wrapped European leg of the MDNA tour was no exception
. From images of swastikas
 that angered a French politician, to a series ofbreast- and bum-flashing
 incidents, a lawsuit over her support of LGBT rights in Russia
 and a tempest in a teacup over her brief Paris club show
 for fans, the outing made almost daily headlines.

One of the concert's centerpieces, a segment during which the singer and her dancers brandished handguns and semi-automatic weapons, also raised eyebrows. Specifically, following the deadly shooting rampage
 at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater, critics lambasted Madonna for not taking the gunplay out of her set.
On Monday, the star posted a manifesto entitled, "The MDNA Tour -- In Madonna's Words," in which she explained the use of weapons onstage.

"My show
Is a journey
The journey of a soul from darkness to light
It is part cinematic musical theatre.
Part spectacle and sometimes intimate Performance art.
But above all its a journey
From darkness to light
From anger to love from chaos to order. "
"But above all its a journey From darkness to light From anger to love from chaos to order.

"It's true there is a lot of violence in the beginning of the show and sometimes the use of fake guns - but they are used as metaphors. I do not condone violence or the use of guns. Rather they are symbols of wanting to appear strong and wanting to find a way to stop feelings that I find hurtful or damaging. In my case its wanting to stop the lies and hypocrisy of the church, the intolerance of many narrow minded cultures and societies I have experienced throughout my life and in some cases the pain I have felt from having my heart broken.

"Ultimately as we follow through the journey of my story, the audience can see quite clearly what I see - That the enemy is within and the only way to survive Disappointment Disapproval Judgment Heartbreak Jealousy Envy And Hatred Is with Love - not with revenge - not with guns and not with violence.

She continued by saying that in films, there are typically good guys and bad guys that help illustrate her point and in her case, she sometimes plays both roles. "I enjoy acting out this journey.
 For none of us are perfect and we all have our own journey of growth to go on," she wrote.

Confident that her fans can relate to this idea, Madonna said it was "very important" for her as an artist that her show not be taken out of context. "It must be watched with an open heart from beginning to end," she wrote. "I am sure if it is viewed this way, the viewer will walk away feeling inspired, Invigorated and will want to make the world a better place. And this of course was always my intention."
