Madonna issues apology to Australian fans


Despite assurances from Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, that the pop icon would play Australia as part of her MDNA World Tour, it was announced last month that the singer would skip the country for the second tour in a row.

The anticipated MDNA shows would have marked Madonna’s first Aussie dates in 20 years.

"Madonna's tour will end in South America in December as planned. That's all we can say," a spokesperson said at the time.

Now, Madonna has stepped up to offer a personal apology to her Australian fans by way of a recorded youtube message.

“I am really and truly sorry to have disappointed you,” began Madonna. “That’s something that I don’t feel very good about. I was going to write a letter to everybody but I thought it would be better if I just filmed myself and you could hear it from me personally.”

“I can promise you in my heart of hearts that it was my intention to come again but, like the last time, my children are my first priority,”
 she continued. “I have two scales that I have to weigh in front of me: my job as a singer and an entertainer, and my job as a mother. Because my children are older, I can’t take them on the road with me everywhere; I have to spend more time away from them. At the end of the year, I really feel that I would be an irresponsible parent if I didn’t stop the tour and spend time with them.”
Madonna kicks off the North American leg of the MDNA tour on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...
