'Her career is over': Elton John reignites feud with Madonna as he labels her a 'f***ing fairground stripper' 
 
 
 
 Sir Elton John has reignited his feud with Madonna by labelling her a 'f***ing fairground stripper' in an extraordinary new interview. 
 
 The 65-year-old singer didn't hold back with his criticism of Madonna, with his outburst triggered as he claimed the singer had been 'horrible' to Lady Gaga, who is godmother to his and husband David Furnish's 19-month-old son Zachary. 
 
 Elton added that Madonna, 53, had no right to criticise other artists because her 'career is over' and her recent MDNA world-tour was less than well received. 
 
 Outburst: Sir Elton John stunned as he called Madonna a 'f***ing fairground stripper' during an interview on Australian TV show Sunday Night 'Her career is over': Elton said Madonna should have stuck to making 'great pop records' instead of turning to dance music 
 
 Speaking on Australian news and current affairs programme Sunday Night, Elton said: ' She's such a nightmare. Sorry, her career is over. Her tour has been a disaster and it couldn't happen to a bigger ****. 
 
 '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. 
 
 
 
 'But no, she had to go and prove ... she looks like a f***ing fairground stripper. She's been so horrible to Gaga.' 
 
 Happier times: Elton and Madonna performed together during the Rainforest Concert back in 1998 
 
 Elton's comments come after Madonna hit out at Gaga for her track Born This Way having too many similarities to her own 1989 hit Express Yourself. 
 
 She said: ' I thought, "What a wonderful way to redo my song." I mean, I recognised the chord changes. I thought it was ... interesting.' 
 
 Earlier this year, Elton reignited his long-running feud with Madonna by implying she wouldn't sing live at the Super Bowl half-time show, saying she should "lip-synch good" in her performance. 
 
 Feuding: The pair's feud was heightened after Madonna beat Elton to take home the Best Song award at the Golden Globe awards earlier this year. Elton was pictured looking furious during Madonna's acceptance speech 
 
 
 
 The 65-year-old musician's comments came after David had branded Madonna 'embarrassing' and 'desperate' after her song Masterpiece - from her directorial debut movie W.E. - beat Elton's efforts on animated film Gnomeo and Juliet to win a Golden Globe award. 
 
 
 
 He wrote on Facebook: '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. And her criticism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is. (sic)'

 Elton John lost to Madonna at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, where the Material Girl won for Best Original Song (Motion Picture) for "Masterpiece," which she wrote for W.E., which she also directed.

 And John's husband, David Furnish, was unhappy about the loss. (Madonna beat out John's "Hello Hello" from the film Gnomeo & Juliet plus three other contenders, including Mary J. Blige's "Living Proof" from The Help.) 
 
 Shortly after the 53-year-old pop singer's name was called, Furnish wrote on his Facebook page: "Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!"

 After Madonna's acceptance speech — the orchestra even started playing in an attempt to cut her off — Furnish's rant continued. 
 
 "Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism," he wrote. "And her criticism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is."

 Last week, Madonna gave several interviews in the press accusing her pop queen successor Lady Gaga of ripping off her classic "Express Yourself" in "Born This Way," calling the latter track "reductive."

 But, backstage at the Globes, Madonna was hopeful that her win wouldn't irk John, 64. "I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years," she quipped. "He's been known to get mad at me so I don't know. He's brilliant and I adore him so he'll win another award. I don't feel bad!"

– Elton John's feud with Madonna continues, with John declaring last night that the Material Girl's "career is over." As evidence, he pointed out that "her tour has been a disaster," adding, "it couldn't happen to a bigger ****." Appearing on Australian show Sunday Night, John also had harsh words for Madonna's look, comparing her to "a f***ing fairground stripper." Why so angry? John may have provided a clue; he accused Madonna of being "so horrible" to Lady Gaga, who just so happens to be godmother to John's son, the Daily Mail notes. "She's such a nightmare," he said. "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."
