The 65-year-old superstar’s debut shows in London were a masterful blend of sentiment and spectacle.
At London’s O2 Arena earlier this week, at the start of Madonna’s Celebration tour, chatter of disbelief could be heard in the crowd as people took their seats to a DJ set of club classics, courtesy of Honey Dijon. Disbelief for a few reasons: first, that Madonna would be taking to the stage at all, after a life-threatening bacterial infection just four months ago put her in the ICU and postponed the tour.
Next, she moved to a bed to perform “Justify My Love” while cavorting in lingerie and bondage gear with a female dancer in a gimp mask and simulating masturbation – a nod to her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, which Pope John Paul II famously branded “one of the most Satanic shows in the history of humanity”. Then, she triumphantly made out with one of her topless female backing dancers during a barnstorming “Hung Up”. Never change, Madonna.
