Madonna says LA show will go on as scheduled 6 hours ago NEW YORK (AP) — Madonna isn't going to let lighting and technical issues keep her from performing at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. A statement from her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, says construction of the singer's stage came to a halt Wednesday due to an equipment malfunction. Although damage to the top of the stage created several lighting and technical issues, Madonna decided to go ahead with Thursday night's show. In an e-mail to The Associated Press, Madonna says: "Even though my stage roof was damaged and some lights and effects aren't working, I want to do the show anyway because I don't want to disappoint my fans." | |

You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

She is probably using the Larry King Live interview as a reason to cancel a Monday show  | |

I don't wanna compare one artist to another,but this just shows how professional Madonna is.It would have been extremely inconvenient for thousands of fans if she had postponed this show.She has a very professional "the show must go on" work ethic that is refreshing.Nothing can stop her,not even the drama in her personal life.She's 100% committed to this tour. | |

Much as I hate to give Madonna any credit, I have to agree. It seems like she takes her work a lot more seriously than Janet. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Why is she going on Larry King? What's she going to talk about for the other 55 minutes. This is something that could be knocked out on Entertainment Tonight or a segment on her good pal Tyra's show. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Only 3 dates have been left out... San Diego, Toronto and Atlanta... the last 4 shows from October 24th on probably will be reported next week!
She's supposed to only call in on LKL. We still don't have any confirmation though! Judge Judy is the guest on monday! [Edited 11/7/08 5:23am] | |

I can't believe that her tour is now over.Is this really the way that she wants to end it?? Makes no sense.She's obviously not sick anymore.She should go ahead and finish the tour.Next time she decides to tour,many fans might choose to stay home.They're gonna remember how unreliable she is. | |

Well, she cancelled the first couple of her Drowned World Tour shows in Germany... without any substitutes... so it's not like she's beyond cancelling shows! | |

I wonder if those sort of migraines are brought on by anything particular. Sometimes something is needed to ignite them. Did she know she had this from before or is it a relatively new health development? She's at the age where your body doesn't quite respond to things the same way it did before even if it's something she's used to. I want to hear her announce the European extension of the tour on Larry. But I don't trust her and I know folks that doubted her even before this tour have done.

I don't need to state anything. People can draw their own conclusions as to why the numbers for those shows have not been made public. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Well, as late as last saturday they were still saying, that they are working on Europe! How is she gonna get through a European tour when she can barely complete a US tour? | |

There ain't no way in hell she's touring Europe. She's far less popular here than in the States, and her big budget stage show would not make money in smaller venues. Also it would enrage the American fans who would wonder why she hadn't honoured her dates there, if she was fit enough to play Europe. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Yeah.... good question! I'm just telling you what they said! [Edited 11/7/08 5:52am] | |

I’m with you guys. I just don’t see how it can happen and if it did I’m sure there’d be questions from US fans. Also what is she going to play? Royal Albert Hall size might be safe.
She keeps putting off having kids. Maybe she needs to start that now. Maybe it will give her inspiration and creativity for the next album. Work on the lingerie, TV show and come back in a few years with a solid album and a new sound. Or maybe not at all. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Madonna says LA show will go on as scheduled 6 hours ago NEW YORK (AP) — Madonna isn't going to let lighting and technical issues keep her from performing at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. A statement from her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, says construction of the singer's stage came to a halt Wednesday due to an equipment malfunction. Although damage to the top of the stage created several lighting and technical issues, Madonna decided to go ahead with Thursday night's show. In an e-mail to The Associated Press, Madonna says: "Even though my stage roof was damaged and some lights and effects aren't working, I want to do the show anyway because I don't want to disappoint my fans." I heard some reports saying that the roof had fallen in at the venue. If the venue is in that bad of shape, than I wouldn't have blamed her is she had cancelled. What if the roof had caved in while she was on stage? Lots of people, including her, could have been killed. Oh well, I guess it's nice to see that she has soo much trust in the people who superglued and duct taped the ceiling back on just hours before she took the stage, but quickly repaired structural damage with lots of loud music not helping much isn't something to risk your life over just to keep from losing money...err, I mean, disappoint your fans.
