Madonna has cancelled her Madame X tour dates in Boston on doctor’s orders.
In a statement on social media, the pop icon has said she is in ‘overwhelming pain’ and is thus taking a break with the aim of returning ‘stronger and better’. “Please forgive this unexpected turn of events,” it reads.
“Doing my show every night brings me so much joy and to cancel is a kind of punishment for me but the pain I’m in right now is overwhelming and I must rest and follow doctors orders so I can come back stronger and better and continue the Madame X journey with all of you.”
Next on the agenda for the Madame X tour is a four-date residency at Met in Philadelphia next month, followed by a longer stay at the Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach. 2020 brings similar European residencies, including a near month-long stop at the London Palladium.
