Superstar Elton John says he will apologise to Madonna for accusing her of miming.
The 57-year-old star said the comments came "in the heat of the moment" and after a "very drunken lunch".
He told Entertainment Weekly magazine: "I don't want to escalate it because I like Madonna.
"It was something that was said in the heat of the moment, and probably should not have been said."
"Would I apologise to her if I saw her? Yeah, because I don't want to hurt any artist's feelings," he added.
Sir Elton's outburst came when he heard Madonna had been nominated for the Best Live Act during the Q awards in London earlier this month.
At the time he said: "Since when has lip-synching been live? Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot."
Sir Elton said he was not going to mellow with age and would always speak his mind.
Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said: "She sang every note of her Re-invention tour live and is not ashamed that she was well-paid for her hard work."
