The Queen of Pop has angered some of her fans by canceling her concert 45 minutes before she was due to perform. Madonna canceled a show in Lisbon to add to a string of delays and cancellations that have plagued her latest tour.
An email was delivered to the fans awaiting the arrival of Madonna at 7:45 pm that the singer would be unable to perform. This was just 45 minutes before Madonna was supposed to perform at 8:30 pm. The mail read “We regret to inform you that Madonna is unable to perform this evening.”
The Material girl also issued an apology via Instagram for canceling the show at the last minute. “Thank you again Lisbon! Sorry I had to cancel tonight but I must listen to my body and rest!! That white port got me through the rest of the show! See you on Tuesday fingers crossed.”
This led to a barrage of reactions from the fans. While some prayed for Madonna’s health, others were livid about the short notice before the cancellation.
“Take care yourself Queen ..your health is number 1 ..we love you always” a fan wrote on Instagram. Another said, “Get well my queen!!!!!! We love you forever.”
However, there were those that were very upset by the cancellation.
“This is unfair on your fans sorry! An hour before doors open! This will happen in London too? Hope not! Unfair Madonna and I’m a massive fan of yours! Cancel in advance please.” a disappointed fan wrote on Instagram.
Fans are not entirely unjustified in their anger. This marks the eighth show cancelation on her Madame X Tour. Madonna canceled three concerts, citing ‘overwhelming pain’ as the reason.
