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.
For the first time since her early days, Madonna will not be performing alongside an on-stage band during the tour. In other messaging during the hours-long gig, a photograph of the late singer Sinead O’Connor appeared on large screens while Madonna draped a Ukraine flag over her back before launching into “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”.Madonna — whose full name is Madonna Louise Ciccone — started out as a dancer in the late 1970s in New York.
