The pop superstar begins her 78-show “Madonna: The Celebration Tour”, marking her more than 40 years of hits, at London’s O2 arena, three months later after its original July start date in Vancouver was pushed back when the “Vogue” singer was hospitalized in intensive care for a serious bacterial infection.
Tour organisers said Madonna would perform on “4,400 square ft. of stage, the largest for any Madonna tour”, which nods to the grid of Manhattan.
Madonna, 65, began her hugely successful music career in New York.
