Madonna postpones start of tour over perfection concerns
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 21 May 2015
Madonna has rescheduled the first five shows on her ‘Rebel Heart’ tour, which was due to begin at the end of August, because the show is a complete disaster and won’t be ready by then. Well, I’m paraphrasing slightly. Apparently it’s an ambitious show that’s taking longer than expected to pull together.
“As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect”, the singer said in a statement. “Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realised. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can’t wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there”.
A claim that the delay is due to the singer endlessly practicing putting on and taking off a cape, lest there be a repeat of that whole BRITs thing, is a means of dragging out this story slightly longer and are entirely fabricated by me.
Unless there are any more setbacks, the tour will begin in Montreal on 9 Sep. The rescheduled dates in Atlanta and Puerto Rico have been moved to January.
