Elton dedicated a song to Australian icons Nick Cave and Molly Meldrum at his Farewell Yellow Brick Road show in Melbourne on December 14.
The legend performed one of his classic songs for Nick, 62, before thanking Molly, 76, for 'everything he's done' and publicly ending their seven-year feud.
Before singing 1971 hit Tiny Dancer at Rod Laver Arena, Elton praised Nick, who was in the crowd, saying: 'This is for Nick, with as much love as I could possibly muster.'

Later on in the show, Elton dedicated a performance to Molly, who he famously fell out with in 2012, after footage of himself criticising Madonna during an interview together accidentally went to air.
'We've had tears, we've had laughter but we've had a friendship that's lasted so long. I don't think anyone has done more for music in Australia than Molly Meldrum,' Elton said as the crowd cheered.
'Molly, I love you, I thank you dearly for everything you've done for me. Bless you.'
Elton will perform his second show in Brisbane on Thursday and then rock two gigs in Sydney on Saturday and Monday, before enjoying a break over Christmas.
The tour will then start up again on January 7 at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena.
