Madonna Has An Exciting Tour Update For Fans After Recent Health Scare

Posted on 16/08/2023 by Boris Clair

Madonna has issued an exciting update for fans in North America who have tickets to see her upcoming Celebration tour.

Last year, the Grammy-winning music legend announced she’d be embarking on her first ever greatest hits jaunt, which was supposed to have kicked off in Vancouver in July.

However, in June, the Queen of Pop was admitted to hospital due to a “serious bacterial infection” and spent time in ICU.

As a result, Madonna’s manager announced the singer would “need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour” while she recovered.

On Tuesday evening, it was revealed that the North American leg of the tour would begin in December in New York, with the majority of dates having now been postponed until early 2024.

A select few tour dates – including performances in Tulsa, Nashville, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Phoenix – have also been cancelled altogether due to “scheduling conflicts”.

Madonna’s Nashville show was a late inclusion to her tour schedule, added as a show of solidarity with the drag and trans community, after recent legislation in Tennessee. Refunds will be available at point of purchase.

“Getting all shows rescheduled was the number one priority,” a press release explained.

“Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts a few shows […] will be canceled. Madonna regrets the inconvenience to fans and hopes to make it up to those markets in the future.”

Madonna last went on tour in 2019 to promote her most recent album Madame X

Madonna – who is celebrating her 65th birthday on Wednesday – will now begin her tour with a string of dates at London’s O2 Arena in October, before taking the show across Europe.

The Papa Don’t Preach star publicly addressed her health scare in an Instagram post weeks after leaving hospital, thanking fans for their “positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement.”

“I have felt your love,” she wrote. “I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life.”

Rosie O’Donnell Shares Updates On Madonna Following Singer’s Hospitalisation

Posted on 04/07/2023 by Boris Clair

The actor posted a throwback photo on Monday of herself and Madonna in a scene from A League Of Their Own, the 1992 comedy that sparked their three-decade friendship.

In the comments, fans asked to know how the Material Girl singer was faring. The pop icon’s manager, Guy Oseary, announced last week that she had been found unresponsive on June 24, leading to a several-day stay in an intensive care unit.

The 64-year-old had developed a “serious bacterial infection” but was expected to make a full recovery, Oseary said.

Responding to a concerned commenter, O’Donnell wrote, “She’s good,” alongside a heart emoji.

“She is recovering at home. She is very strong in general,” she wrote in another comment.

Actor Debi Mazar, another friend, also shared a brief update about the singer last week.

“To all of her fans- Madonna is on the mend & home resting!” Mazar wrote on Instagram.

Madonna’s Celebration tour of North America and Europe ― which was scheduled to begin in mid-July ― has been postponed.

Madonna was hospitalised on Saturday after being found unresponsive, according to multiple reports citing her manager, Guy Oseary.

Her manager said on Wednesday that she had developed a “serious bacterial infection,” but added that she is expected to make a full recovery.

“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU,” he wrote on Instagram. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”

Oseary added that Madonna will postpone her Celebration tour, which she was scheduled to begin in mid-July.

Susanna Reid Defends Madonna After Comments About Her Grammys Appearance: ‘She Should Be Proud Of Herself’

Posted on 08/02/2023 by Boris Clair

Susanna Reid has defended Madonna after the star spoke out against misogynistic and ageist comments about her appearance.

The Good Morning Britain presenter said the Like A Prayer singer should “feel proud of herself”, while criticising those who have been passing comment on Madonna since she popped up at the Grammys over the weekend.

Discussing a recent Instagram post, in which Madonna said she was once again “caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in”, on the ITV breakfast show, Susanna said: “She’s 64 years old and I think she is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. If she aged naturally people would still be focused and obsessed with her appearance.

“People are going to be obsessed with how Madonna appears and she thinks it is an example of misogyny, ageism and she also blames the long lens of the camera which took her photo.”

Madonna speaks onstage during the Grammys

She continued: “Frankly, do you know what? I think she should just look however she wants to look and there we go and there you have it.

“She should feel proud of herself whatever she does.”

The Queen of Pop appeared on stage at Sunday’s Grammys to introduce Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ performance of their hit collaboration, Unholy, during which she paid tribute to her fellow “troublemakers and rebels”.

It prompted scrutiny and speculation on social media and in the press, with some questioning if the 64-year-old had undergone cosmetic surgery.

Responding to the criticism on Instagram, Madonna said: “Many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face.

“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women pass [sic] the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working, and adventurous.

“I have never apologised for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.”

Madonna pointed out that she’s been “degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.”

She concluded: “I look forward to many more years of subversive behaviour – pushing boundaries – Standing up to the patriarchy – and Most of all enjoying my life.”

Madonna Hails ‘Troublemakers And Rebels’ As She Pays Tribute To Sam Smith And Kim Petras At Grammys

Posted on 06/02/2023 by Boris Clair

As pop music’s OG trailblazer queer ally, it was fitting that Madonna introduced Sam Smith and Kim Petras at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.

Ahead of the ceremony, the Queen of Pop shared a video on Instagram of her in her outfit by designer Loree Rodkin, which was giving us high end equestrian vibes (complete with riding crop, obvs).

After taking to the stage at the Crytpo.com Arena in Los Angeles, Madonna paid tribute to her fellow “troublemakers and rebels”.

“Are you ready for a little controversy? Here’s what I’ve learned after four decades in music,” she began.

“If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative or dangerous, you are definitely onto something.

“I’m here to give thanks to all the rebels out there, forging a new path and taking the heat for all of it.

“All you troublemakers out there need to know that your fearlessness does not go unnoticed. You are seen, you are heard and, most of all, you are appreciated.”

She concluded: “So now, speaking of controversy, it gives me great pleasure to introduce two incredibly talented artists who have risen above the noise, the doubt, the critics into something beautifully unholy. Here are two Grammy award winners, Sam Smith and Kim Petras.”

Sam and Kim then took to the stage for a fiery (literally) performance of their hit Unholy, which featured cameo appearances from RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Gottmik and Violet Chachki.

Earlier in the night, Kim took a moment to honour the transgender trailblazers that came before her as she celebrated her first ever Grammy win.

Kim and Sam triumphed in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their collaboration Unholy, which topped the charts upon its release last year.

Taking to the stage to collect the prize, the German singer and songwriter revealed to the audience that Sam “graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win this award”.

“I just want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me, who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight,” Kim said.

Kim went on to give a special mention to Madonna, for her “fight for LGBTQ rights”, and claimed she wouldn’t “be here” without the Queen of Pop or her own mother.

Kim Petras Celebrates ‘Incredible Transgender Legends Before Me’ After Historic Grammys Win

Posted on 06/02/2023 by Boris Clair

Kim Petras took a moment to honour the transgender trailblazers that came before her as she celebrated her first ever Grammy win on Sunday night.

During this year’s Grammys ceremony, Kim and Sam Smith triumphed in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their collaboration Unholy, which topped the charts upon its release last year.

“I just want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me, who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight,” Kim said.

She then gave a specific shout-out to the late music producer Sophie, who died in 2021 after an accident.

Kim said of her friend and fellow musician: “She told me this would happen, and always believed in me. Thank you so much for your inspiration, Sophie. I adore you. And your inspiration will forever be in my music.”

Kim went on to give a special mention to Madonna, for her “fight for LGBTQ rights”, and claimed she wouldn’t “be here” without the Queen of Pop or her own mother.

Later in the evening, the Like A Prayer singer returned the favour, by introducing Sam and Kim before their fiery (literally!) performance of Unholy during the show, which featured cameo appearances from RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Gottmik and Violet Chachki.

Madonna’s Iconic VMAs Kiss Almost Included A Completely Different Pop Diva

Posted on 18/01/2023 by Boris Clair

It’s been almost 20 years since Madonna made pop culture history when she locked lips with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on stage at the 2003 VMAs.

But it’s now been revealed that the performance almost looked very different – with a whole other diva claiming she was initially supposed to have been involved too.

During a recent interview with E! News, Jennifer Lopez claimed that she met with Madonna and Britney at the Queen of Pop’s home to discuss a group performance.

“I was filming a movie in Canada, and we had met – me, her and Britney — to do it at her home,” she said (via People). “And then I just couldn’t get off the film. So, we couldn’t do it.”

Apparently J-Lo’s loss was Xtina’s gain, though, with the Jenny From The Block singer adding: “They got Christina Aguilera, I think, to do it, and I didn’t wind up doing it. I love Madonna. I’m a huge fan. I always have been.”

However, Jen isn’t the only star who’s claimed she was supposed to be part of the iconic number.

Shortly after the performance in 2003, Pink claimed that both she and Gwen Stefani had been approached to be part of the routine.

“It was supposed to be me, Gwen and Britney,” the So What singer reportedly told the Daily Record. “Me and Gwen backed out of it and they got Christina.

“Madonna originally wanted me, Britney and Gwen. But I know how Madonna’s mind works. She was the boss. She was the groom. While everyone else was her 20 years ago. And I am nobody’s bitch.”

Pink later told MTV that “the kiss wasn’t even talked about” when she was approached to perform with Madonna.

“I had one vacation all year, and I was not leaving my vacation to go into a rehearsal studio,” she added. “Which sounds ridiculous.

“But you know, I just said, ‘I can’t be at those rehearsals, but I can learn it for that day, and I’m sure that I’ll be more than capable of doing it.’ ”

Anyone hoping to see Madonna live for themselves can look forward to the pop icon’s upcoming Celebration tour.

The global jaunt will commemorate the Like A Prayer singer’s 40th year in the music industry, and is set to feature hits from across the decades.

Madonna’s eldest daughter Lourdes Leon is breaking into the music scene with the release of her debut single.

On Wednesday, the 25-year-old released Lock & Key, her first ever musical offering, under the moniker Lolahol, which is presumably a nod to her long-held nickname, Lola.

The dream-like song features production from Eartheater – who also directed the accompanying music video – and was co-written by Lourdes herself.

“Why can’t I just lock into a Polly Pocket,” Lola ponders in the song’s intro. “It could all be crystal clear.

“Keep a photo of you in my locket, addicted to the comfort. Till the comforter gets too hot too hot to sleep I’m tossing and tearing.”

Interestingly, the song also appears to include a nod to Lady Gaga, when Lourdes is heard singing “no sleep, next plane, no sleep, make-up, next club, next car, next plane, no sleep, no fear”, mirroring one of the Poker Face singer’s viral interviews.

Last year, Lourdes – who has previously dabbled in dancing and modelling – gave an interview admitting that she did not see herself pursuing a music career in the same vein as her famous mum.

“I can sing. I just don’t care about it,” she told Interview magazine. “Maybe it’s too close to home.”

Lourdes at an Oscars after-party earlier this year

Last week, Lourdes joined her mum and her five other siblings to celebrate the Grammy-winning star’s 64th birthday with an elaborate party in Siciliy.

She previously appeared in the music video for her mum’s song Celebration, as well as a moving video which was projected during Madonna’s performance of Frozen on her 2020 Madame X tour.

Lourdes is Madonna’s eldest child, and her father is the actor and personal trainer Carlos Leon.

Madonna has five other children: 22-year-old Rocco, whose dad is film director Guy Ritchie, 16-year-olds David and Mercy and nine-year-old twins Stella and Estere, who were born in Malawi and adopted by the Like A Prayer singer as children.

50 Cent Apologises To Madonna After She Accuses Him Of ‘Trying To Humiliate’ Her With Comments About Instagram Pics

Posted on 04/12/2021 by Boris Clair

50 Cent has apologised to Madonna over comments he made about her recent Instagram pictures.

The Vogue singer made headlines last month with a provocative bedroom photoshoot taken in (and under) her bed.

50 Cent had reshared the snaps, including the one of her under the bed, comparing her to the Wicked Witch of the East from The Wizard of Oz, where Madonna’s legs where photoshopped under a house from film.

He added: “Starz ask me to do a remake, I said only if Madonna is gonna play the role because i need star power and sex appeal in this one.”

In another caption, he wrote: “That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do Like A Virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don’t get her old ass up.”

After his comments caught Madonna’s attention, she issued a scathing response on Instagram.

Posting on her Story, she wrote: “Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend. Now you have decided to talk smack about me!

“I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media, the least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult.

“You’re just jealous she won’t look as good as me or have as much fun when you’re my age! Too bad there are no sour grapes emojis.”

Madonna then posted a video of her with a green alien filter, where she added: “Cheer up, things could be worse, you could be me for instance. Personally, I like the way I look, but there are those that find it hard to appreciate people and things that are different.

“And they try to shame me or humiliate me or make me feel less than because I am not like everyone else.

“But in fact, I cherish my uniqueness and I’ve grown stronger because to be unique is to be rare.”

50 Cent has now issued an apology on Twitter, writing: “I must have hurt Madonna feelings, she went and dug up a old MTV photo from 03. Ok I’m sorry I did not intend to hurt your feelings.

“I don’t benefit from this in anyway I said what I thought when I saw the picture because of where I had seen it before I hope you accept my apology.”

50 Cent’s original posts no longer appear on his Instagram page.

Madonna previously called out Instagram for removing one of the photos from her photoshoot due to the fact that one of her nipples was exposed.

She fumed: “It is still astounding to me that we live in a culture that allows every inch of a woman’s body to be shown except a nipple. As if that is the only part of a woman’s anatomy that could be sexualised. The nipple that nourishes the baby!

“Can’t a mans nipple be experienced as erotic??!! And what about a woman’s ass which is never censored anywhere.”

Madonna Climbs On Jimmy Fallon’s Desk During Chaotic Talk Show Interview

Posted on 09/10/2021 by Boris Clair

Madonna made a memorable appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s US talk show this week, that saw her shocking the host by climbing on his desk in the middle of their interview.

The music icon was on the programme to promote her new concert film Madame X, a live recording of her infamous 2020 tour, which saw her playing at select theatres in place of the usual arenas and stadiums.

Referring to Madonna’s decision to play at smaller venues, the host commented: “You always do stuff that no one’s doing, you zig when people are zagging… but here’s what I was going to ask you…?”

“Did I make any money?” Madonna interrupted. “No I didn’t!”

Jimmy insisted: “I wasn’t going to ask you that! But people take your ideas, you do all these things first, and then people take your ideas and don’t give you credit.”

“Yeah,” Madonna agreed. “And they also don’t do it as good. That sounds really arrogant but it’s kind of true.”

Later, Madonna cited a James Baldwin quote about artists’ role being “to disturb the peace”, which is a mantra throughout her Madame X film.

“I hope that I have disturbed not only your peace this afternoon, but people watching the show,” Madonna explained. “But I mean that in the best way.”

“Yeah, you get in good trouble,” the presenter asked.

“Good trouble?” the Like A Prayer singer questioned.

Unprompted, she then rose out of her chair and climbed on Jimmy’s desk, while he protested and eventually took off his jacket to cover her backside.

“Oh, no one’s going to see anything, my god,” Madonna insisted, lifting the back of her skirt before sitting down for good measure.

“Life is not just about interviewing kiddies, OK?” she added. “Don’t you want to talk to an adult? Let’s have some adult conversation!”

“Is that right? Are you talking to an adult right now?” Jimmy asked.

“I’m not sure… I’m talking to someone who’s… I feel like you’re in sort of conflict right now.”

Madonna’s Madame X tour was generally well-received by critics, though it did hit a few bumps in the road along the way.
