Simon Cowell desperate to sign up Madonna for a live performance at X Factor?

RUMOURS - Simon Cowell is desperate to sign up Madonna for a live performance at this year’s X Factor in the UK, according to The Sun.

A source told The Sun that “it’s looking very hopeful Madonna will perform, possibly in November,” and that, even though “there are a lot of big names releasing music at the time, she’s absolutely the number one name we are trying to secure.”

She [Madonna] needs her next album to be a success in the UK and a performance on ITV in front of 12 million people would be the best platform.

A X Factor insider told The Sun

Simon Cowell brought a lot of sh*t on Madonna in the past. Do you remember?
Please, take it with a grain of salt.
