When Madonna won a Golden Globe for Best Song last weekend, Elton John's husband, David Furnish, took to his Facebook page, slamming Madge's win. Furnish posted a follow-up on Friday, saying he was caught up in the moment.
"My comments regarding the Golden Globes have been blown way out of proportion. My passion for our film, "Gnomeo & Juliet" and belief in Elton's song really got my emotional juices going. But I must say for the record that I do believe Madonna is a great artist, and that Elton and I wish her all the best for next week's premiere of the film 'W.E.'"
The day after the awards show, Furnish furiously wrote, "Madonna. Best song???? F*** off!!!" Elton's husband also blasted Madonna's acceptance speech, calling it "embarrassing in its narcissism."
