The superstar took to the stage at The O2 on Saturday night donning an elaborate black gown and silver headpiece before unveiling a punk rocker-style outfit.
Madonna has said “it is so good to be back London” as she kicked off her Celebration tour in spectacular fashion – with a brief technical issue not able to hold her back.
She added: “I’m pretty damned surprised that I made it this far and I mean that on so many levels… How did I make it this far? Because of you. I’m going to take a bit of credit too.” To fill the time, the pop superstar recalled how difficult things were when she was in her first band when she was “broke and hungry and making zero cash” – but she could “see the future”. She confessed she would “date men who had showers and bath tubs” as she had no way to wash at the time, recalling asking men she thought were “cute” if they lived alone and had a shower before asking them to get dinner.
She will perform four sold-out dates in London before moving on to her European and North American legs. Special guest, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob The Drag Queen, wearing an elaborate period costume, welcomed the pop star to the stage.
