Madonna made a statement at her sold-out Madison Square Garden show in Manhattan by revealing her muscles in a tiny red négligée.
During the event, the 65-year-old Queen of Pop celebrated her daughter Chifundo “Mercy” James Kambewa Ciccone’s 18th birthday, thus the provocative ensemble had a purpose.
The singer, who was born in Michigan, had her 18-year-old son David Banda Mwale Ciccone play guitar with her on the 2003 song “Mother and Father,” while her daughter Mercy performed piano on the 1992 song “Bad Girl.”
Madonna’s strong figure astonished her followers, who sent comments about her appearance on social media. While some appreciated her physique, many others pointed out that she was too old to be wearing the way she did.
Despite all of the turmoil around her, Madonna continues to make headlines for her songs and dramatic, exuberant live performances.
On Friday (January 19), two Madonna fans, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, launched a federal civil case against her, saying that she participated in “false advertising.”
According to the BBC, the singer is suing the Eastern District of New York for reportedly arriving late for her December 13 concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. Due to “sound check issues,” Madonna allegedly performed about 10:45 p.m., perplexing concertgoers who assumed she was hours late.
Madonna has not allowed her current health difficulties prevent her from continuing her musical career. In June, a NARCAN injection helped the artist recover from a 48-hour medically induced coma caused by a severe bacterial infection. The diva is presently on her Celebration Tour, which has grossed $77.4 million from 79 shows. She has 44.6 million monthly Spotify listeners.
In honor of her four-decade career, Madonna has put together an incredible stage spectacle for her 12th concert tour in partnership with creative director Lewis James and musical director Stuart Price. Madonna picked Bob the Drag Queen, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8, to start her shows instead of a traditional band or vocalist.
Madonna is still going strong despite her previous health issues, which included hip and knee ailments that prompted the cancellation of 14 shows on her Madame X Tour in 2019-2020, according to USA Today. Despite further complications caused by the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, Madonna underwent knee surgery in April 2020, hip surgery in November 2020, and regenerative therapy for “missing cartilage,” according to the Mirror.
Madonna plans to direct her own biography, Little Sparrow, for Universal Pictures. Julia Garner, an actress and three-time Emmy winner, will feature in the film.
After Diablo Cody left, Madonna hired Independent Spirit Award-winning screenwriter Erin Wilson to continue work on the script she co-wrote with the Oscar-winning writer. The biography will look at Madonna’s incredible career and personal life.
