Before Madonna released her debut album with Sire Records she was with Gotham Sound. Her first manager Camille Barbone sent out various variations of a headshot and resume along with Madonna’s demo tape to record companies. Pictured here is one of those stunning headshots, this has been added to The First Album (merchandise.)
Headshot (pre-debut album)
Madonna played the first of two nights of her Rebel Heart Tour in Berlin on November 10, 2015 at the Mercedes Benz Arena. Right before the show Madonna’s son Rocco was hanging around on the floor with friends, talking to girls in the audience. Whenever a Madonna fan approached him, he turned his back and walked the other way, it was obvious he didn’t want to be ‘bothered.’
Idris Elba (“Luther”) was tonight’s pre-show DJ as well as the one and only unapologetic bitch. Madonna performed “Secret” and “Rebel Heart” after the 80s medley, skipping “Who’s That Girl.”
