MADONNA is reportedly to be planning her most shocking stage performance yet on her forthcoming 'RE-INVENTION' world tour.
Fans will see the star being "frazzled" in an electric chair, and images of people killed in Iraq will be shown on a huge video screen.
According to today's (May 20) Sun newspaper, the show will also contain simulated lesbian sex when Madonna tangos with a female dancer, and a parade of scantily-clad pregnant women will appear during 'Papa Don't Preach'.
After her performance of 'Lament', from the 1996 musical 'Evita', the stage will be plunged into darkness. There will be a flash of fireworks and Madonna will be seen strapped in an electric chair.
A big anti-war statement will be made during her 2003 Number One single 'American Life'. The sound of bombs dropping will be linked with onstage video footage of troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
During her cover of the John Lennon classic 'Imagine', she will break down in tears in front of pictures of starving children.
Madonna has been putting the finishing touches to the massive production, which is costing more than £1million.
The tour opens at Los Angeles Forum next Monday (May 24) and arrives in the UK in August.
I'm pretty sure I'll be busy that night.
Madonna shocking? At this late date, what could Madonna possibly do that would be shocking?
The Eurinals will no doubt give her a 15 minute standing ovation.
She's getting too old for this.
what..no Kabalah reading on stage....
Poor Maddie has to resort to more and more shock value as she ages. But then talent was never one of her strong suits.
Prairie
go stand in the corner..I was eating when I read that..
And continue crying in the limo all the way to the five star restaurant for her post-performance snack.
Will her daughter join in the performances?
maybe raise her daughter into a normal human being.... that would be unbelievably shocking...
What a great mom she is.....
World Tour?
Forgive me, but she cuts her dates to nothing so she won't be embarrassed by ticket sales.
She's been doing that for well over ten years.
How many dates does she have this time?
How many in the States?
If it isn't a minimum of 30, then she's just doing an ego tour.
ok, well the appetite just left the building... LOL!
Sounds like something the (other) NEA would like to fund. Remember their antics during the Clinton years?
As for Madonna, fame and fortune often seem to freeze a person's emotional development.
Someone mentioned seeing this stunt pulled by Alice Cooper in 1970 or so - not an original idea (in case someone thought she had one).
Her following is down to about 15 people. Big deal.
repent?
Oy VEY!!! Thank God for the stand-by barf bags!
