Madonna Angers Fans with Late Start on Celebration Tour
Madonna kicked off her highly anticipated Celebration Tour in the U.S. on a sour note as she angered fans by taking the stage about an hour late. The incident occurred at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and left fans frustrated and disappointed.
The delay was reportedly caused by sound issues, with Madonna sound checking until just before the doors opened at 7:30 p.m. This led to further delays, and the DJ who was supposed to open for Madonna finally took the stage at 8:30 p.m. Sadly, at that time, the arena was only half full.
During the concert, Madonna acknowledged the sound problems and asked the crowd if they could hear her properly due to an echo in her earpiece. Fans took to social media to express their frustration, criticizing Madonna for her tardiness and calling her rude. Many felt let down after waiting eagerly for the show to start.
This is not the first time Madonna has faced backlash for being late to her concerts. In 2019, she was sued for rescheduling a show in Miami, causing inconvenience to ticketholders. It seems like tardiness has become a recurring issue for the pop icon.
Before embarking on her current tour, Madonna faced a setback when she was hospitalized for a “serious infection.” However, she expressed her dedication to her fans and vowed not to disappoint those who had bought tickets.
The incident at the Barclays Center has once again sparked debates about artists’ responsibilities towards their fans. Concertgoers expect punctuality and professionalism from their favorite performers, and Madonna’s recent behavior has left some feeling let down.
Tracy Wright from Fox News Digital contributed to this report. As fans eagerly await Madonna’s upcoming concerts, it remains to be seen whether she will learn from this incident and make amends with her loyal followers.
