I imagine that if you’re willing to pay £500 upwards for a ticket, you won’t baulk at paying far more than that for a hotel room (and transportation) for the night you’re seeing it (especially if rumours of a 3 a.m. finish are/were true) : ok so the ticket money will be refunded but I can’t even begin to imagine how pissed off I would be at spending an absolute fortune only for the whole thing to fall apart so close to showtime: surely she must be able to get proper medical advice about whether or not she can carry on with this rather than the vague promises she’s been wheeling out? I had an email last week offering tickets but I have no intention of paying £600 to see anyone, let alone someone who doesn’t seemed that arsed about her fan base.

With the cancellations I wonder whether Madonna needs to re-evaluate how her live shows are worked. She may now be eligible for an Older Persons Oyster Card but she has always been a fitness fanatic and looked after herself. There are performers well into their 70's and older who are still playing live and they have burnt the candle much more than Madge.
Maybe she just needs to concentrate on the singing and cut back on all the dancing if she still wants to be an ongoing live attraction. The likes of Cher who is 12 years older than Madge has been doing a recent big tour and seems to have got the balance between visual and performance spot on without overstretching herself.

I imagine she is currently lounging about her hotel room trying to decide what'll get her more headlines tomorrow. Cancelling...coming on at 3am...or being a decent human being and showing up on time x |

I imagine it's the 5 hour workouts she did everyday for 20 years that have caused most of her knee troubles. No one needs to exercise that much x |

Mobile phones must be placed in secure locked cases? What are you supposed to do for six hours while waiting to see if she shows up?

You'll be too busy enjoying the pre-show party. The post-show unlocking and phone retrieval will be a treat too.

Show started 8.46pm and finished around 11.02pm. Madonna very chatty and the selfie sold for £1500 tonight. No changes, but one song has been cut (and it was a dance number, so fair enough).

Quoting someone else but:
She appeared to be in a great mood - chatting and joking lots with the audience, but she kept stopping herself and saying “I have to get on with the show, there’s an iron curtain coming down on me later, Westminster council have made it very clear to me that I need to finish on time”!!

It’s going to happen at some point. |

Her band come on stage play Madonna songs as a pre-show warm up, so there’s that to enjoy. But last night they played to an empty house because everyone was in the bar!

Show started at 9.20pm tonight, finished at 11.10pm (which is looking like the agreed finish time for all shows now). The show started late deliberately and cut the first 4 songs to accommodate her injury. Fans who did the backstage tour were told this during the tour so it wasn’t just a case of her not dragging her new ass on stage.

This is quite frustrating. So we’re getting a shorter show than the rest of the tour? I was looking forward to it but I’m really over it now. Wish there was a way I could get my money back and just go see something else!

Wish there was a way I could get my money back and just go see something else! No idea. She actually cut 2 songs in Lisbon, so the total cut songs is around 5/6 now. Apparently last night she was on stage 110 minutes which is a fairly standard concert length anyway, and how the show starts really works apps really. Doesn’t justify it though. |
