Pop legend Madonna kicked off her 40th anniversary “Celebration Tour” in London on Saturday, enthralling fans three-and-a-half months after a bacterial infection led to her hospitalisation and its postponement.
“I wasn’t expecting it to be the opening night but as things are, it is really, really excited to see her,” teacher Kate Taylor, 46, told AFP ahead of the concert. After taking to the stage in spectacular fashion — with a powerful rendition of her 1998 hit “Nothing Really Matters” — she had to stop the show briefly to “press the reset button” following sound issues.
They included a punk rocker-style ensemble featuring a classic statement bra, black jacket and chains, for her 1982 track “Everybody”. Madonna paused her show again later, this time to send a message of support for Israelis and Palestinians “suffering” amid the “heartbreaking” violence there. The tour promises to be a “documentary through her vast career” drawing on archive footage and studio recordings from her four decades in the spotlight, according to her musical director Stuart Price.
