After cancelling a handful of shows – including two London dates – due to injury, Madonna has finally arrived at London’s Palladium for opening night. By her standards, it’s a ludicrously small venue. This lofty, gilded space has hosted a few other musical legends in its time – Frank Sinatra and The Beatles to name a couple…
Lucy O’Brien finds Madonna’s new show a lyrical exploration of love, exile and liberation, with just a smattering of greatest hits Madonna live photography by Ricardo Gomes There is sense of trepidation as we sit, mobile phones locked in special pouches, staring at the velvet stage curtains on the opening night of Madonna’s Madame X…
Acclaimed DJ Tracy Young chatted with Digital Journal about her 2020 Grammy win for “Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical.” She took home the 2020 Grammy Award for “Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical” for Madonna’s “I Rise” (Tracy Young’s Pride Into Radio Remix). “I never thought I would be nominated, so I was just getting used to that,…
A smaller room did not equate to a smaller box office for the Material Mom.

RICARDO GOMES Madonna performing at the London Palladium in January 2020 The last time I saw Madonna, she fell down the stairs. Although, more to the point, she got straight up again and performed a dance routine. I myself recently fell down a flight of stairs, and as I lay at the bottom, curled up in…
MADAME X IS A RAY OF LIGHT LONDON JANUARY 30 2020 London, Thursday January 30th. A night to remember, that’s for sure. And a night that went a bit faster than expected… After weeks of fearing that this show might be cancelled too – the fear seriously remained until two hours before the start…
Thank you @Madonna with all my heart for giving me your Polaroid tonight! Meeting you and telling you how much you’ve inspired me and taught me over 35 years was an honour and dream come true.

Madonna’s London Palladium residency finally got under way last night with a quote from writer James Baldwin: “Artists are here to disturb the peace”.
