Interview with Mike McKnight – Drowned World Tour 20th anniversary

Madonna NewsJune 16, 2021

Mike McKnight is the musical genius behind the sound of many of Madonna’s world tours and overall live performances. He agreed to answer a few questions in relation to the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Drowned World Tour.

The Drowned World Tour was your third world tour with Madonna, what was the most different working on this tour compared to The Girlie show back in ’93?

The Girlie Show was a lot more energetic and was built for stadium shows.

Drowned World was a much darker show built mainly for arenas.

I wish we had done more from Ray of Light on this tour but it was still a show I’m very proud of.

Interview with Donna De Lory (Drowned World Tour 20th anniversary) 2021

Madonna News, New Madonna itemsJune 9, 2021

Donna De Lory kindly agreed to join us in a Q&A celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Drowned World Tour (June 9 2021)

The Drowned World Tour was the first proper world tour since 1993’s Girlie Show, what changed mostly opposed to that tour in ’93?

So much time had gone by and we had all grown up in many ways. Niki and I had pursued our own artist careers and I believe developed even more respect for Madonna as a woman and true artist. Madonna had a family then so there was naturally less time for us to hang out while on tour as we had done years before.

Madonna, the 1994 film she ‘dropped’, and the story behind it

Madonna's FilmographyJune 1, 2021

1st June 2021 | by Simon Brew | 0 Comments

The screenplay to the film Angie was written with Madonna in mind – but she’d leave the project, and two different versions of what happened emerged.

Throughout the 1990s, Madonna dabbled with some pretty successful movie projects. She kicked the decade off in 1990 with Dick Tracy and in 1991 with the controversial documentary Truth Or Dare: In Bed With Madonna (the title you saw the film under was dependent on where you lived), the latter a press sensation of a film that won her a few new enemies as well as friends.

TONIGHT “Strike A Pose” on OUT TV (Dutch TV)

Madonna News, Madonna's FilmographyMay 26, 2021

Een Nederlandse documentaire uit 2016. Zeven jonge dansers worden in 1990 door Madonna gecast voor haar spraakmakende Blond Ambition Tour. Hun reis wordt vastgelegd in één van de meest succesvolle documentaires ooit: Truth or Dare – In Bed with Madonna (1991). Al gauw groeien Madonna’s trotse dansers uit tot iconen van seksuele vrijheid. Wild, onbezonnen en amper twintig, laten ze de wereld zien wat het betekent om jezelf te durven zijn. Nu, 25 jaar later, nemen de dansers ons mee terug achter de schermen en onthullen ze de werkelijkheid over hun levens tijdens en na de tour. Strike a Pose is een aangrijpende film over het overwinnen van schaamte en het gevecht dat nodig is om te zijn wie je bent.
