Madonna Postpones First Five Dates of Rebel Heart Tour
Madonna has postponed the first five dates of her Rebel Heart tour. The tour was scheduled to kick off on August 29th in Miami, but she will now begin her international trek on September 9th in Montreal.
Along with two nights in Miami (August 29th and 30th), the pop star also moved dates in Atlanta (September 2nd) and San Juan, Puerto Rico (September 5th and 6th) to January 2016. “As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect,” Madonna said in a statement. “Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realized. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can’t wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there.”
Madonna released her latest album Rebel Heart and announced the tour in March. Since then, she’s made a number of high-profile live appearances, including the Brit Awards, where she quickly recovered from a nasty mid-performance fall, and the IHeartRadio Music Awards. At the latter, Taylor Swift played guitar as the pop vet sang her latest Rebel Heart single “Ghosttown.”
Her most-talked about performance, however, was at Coachella, where she joined Drake onstage. As Drake sang the If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late cut “Madonna” during the festival’s headlining set, the titular inspiration joined him to perform a medley of her own songs and give the rapper-singer a passionate kiss.
