The US superstar, who put on hold performances earlier this year after a 'serious bacterial infection' saw her admitted to intensive care for several days, says current events in Israel and Gaza are 'painful to witness'.
Madonna has spoken of her heartbreak at the suffering in the Middle East as she kicked off her latest tour in London, which had been postponed following a life-threatening illness. The US superstar urged fans at the O2 Arena on Saturday night to unite in 'light and love' to help bring peace against the backdrop of the current Israel-Hamas war.
During the show, the Queen of Pop treated the enthusiastic audience to an array of classic songs from her four-decade career, a host of extravagant outfits and a variety of theatrical stage set-ups. She also ensured the first show of her new tour would be a family affair as a number of her six children took to the stage throughout the nearly two-and-a-half-hour performance.
