NOT REQUESTED AT ALL  JUST FOR FUN IN A HOT LAZY SUMMER AFTERNOON 
GIRLIE SHOW (narratively impeccable, musically and sonically unparalleled, theatrically creative and unique as nothing before and after, this is M the artist for me) Blond Ambition (it definitely made history, could really be defined iconic and was damn bold - but truly damn bold: how many can honestly say this about their shows? This is why M is the Queen, because she TOOK VALUE) ReInvention (her maturity turning point before the videogame kind of shows she went on producing after that - yes, I'm almost 46 guys, that's a fact  , essential and effective at the same time, the last one wich tracks reworks still was musically interesting imo. A very few low points - Express yourself, Into the groove and Papa don't preach) Rebel Heart (the main exception among her recent works: a major, people connecting, authentic, kind of performance, full of ironic and relaxed moments, some excellent theatric and musical numbers, but her creativity and sound were not at her golden days level for me. Still one of her bests ) Who's that girl (the most rockish and energetic performing of her career, the perfect debut world tour, where the point was her and her alone: I still have goose bamps when she screams that final echoed "I love you Italy! ... holidayyyyy!") Confessions (M at her best form, no doubt about that: vocally, phisically, as a performer and a star, she perfectly balances her huge diva charisma with nice audience interactions and some intimate moments, the production is huge. The reason why it's here is that I feel it as the beginning of the change: the sound starts to be cold and prerecorded, the serious messages are taken as a part of the character and not as something to dive into - I mean in the second set she talks about children dieing by aids in Africa, the Israeli-Palestinian war, women fighting for their rights in fundamentalist islamic cultures, one pour song, I mean, those are not easy issues to fill coreos with some kind of humanitarian contents. Many low points: all the interludes, Jump, Live to tell - the cross is a gorgeous but boring idea, Isaac, I love NY, Paradise, La Isla bonita, Lucky star ... sorry. Maybe the most elegant costumes, even if not all that effective) Drowned world (it was the first time I saw her live and unfortunately I was disappointed: the things I really liked were the second set and the Lo que siente la mujer/La isla bonita number: Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light tours will always be my greatest regrets. Beautiful geisha costumes though and when it worked it really worked). MDNA (wow what a production, her best ever ... but a concert needs a good tracklist to work and the album was cheap as some of the old catalogue tracks rearrangements: the one minute long Papa don't preach, Hung what the fuck UP, Express yourself, Open your heart, the Like a virgin waltz could have been a good idea but she already did it much more poeticly and ironicly in the Girlie Show. I'm still crazy for Gang Bang though, the third set was perfection, especially Human Nature and Love Spent, and I ADORE the I'm a sinner/CyberRaga performance, that was creative, joyful and easy. This tour, after Madame X, shows some of her worst costumes) Madame X (a missed opportunity, she should have experimented more imo, tha album was good and offered many chances to revisit interesting tracks from her old catalogue. Human Nature, Batuka, Extreme Occident and Come Alive are the picks imo. Her worst opening number ever.) Sticky and sweet (It was the first time I took my - at that time - new boyfriend to a Madonna show and I felt like shit: except Candy Shop, Vogue and La Isla Bonita/Lela pala tute, I HATED IT  we've been together for 14 years though, he forgave me) Virgin (she was just starting and the show was basic as her performing abilities imo, she was beginning to explore and made it nicely but it's impossible to parallel that show even to WTG for me)

For me, I love "spoilers" - they make me more excited. I call them teasers instead. It builds the anticipation for me. If someone had it - I would love to know the setlist. I would still be as excited on the October night in London at the O2.
I understand everyone is different. But in the modern media world it's hard to avoid leaks about things like this unless you live in a cave until October.
Maybe have an equivalent tour thread for freer speech. 

Fingers crossed she's doing well and the tour is only slightly postponed. 
 
So is it actually true that the dancers are back to rehearsing? 

I think she is starting in August and just rescheduling the first two weeks.
She had a bacterial infection, not cancer. She's probably just fine already (it's been almost 2 weeks now) and will resume rehearsals next week or so. Three weeks of rehearsals is all she lost so probably all she needs to get the show ready. They can't afford to reschedule more shows if she's okay.

Possible  she did display her horse accident x-rays on the screens behind her during Like A Virgin in the Confessions Tour after all 

Yep, I’m in Grand Rapids. My friend and I booked a long weekend in Detroit for the show so I can have time to try to find a husband. 💅

I don't know what she had planned for the opening number of the Celebration Tour but....if it still happens.....she should definitely consider opening with "Die Another Day."
I can hear it now.....
The lights go down.....
The crowd goes wild.....
Those epic DAD strings come in......
and then.....
her spoken voice.....
"I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know...
I guess I'll die another day...
It's not my time to go!"
She rises from the stage.....
Everyone's on their feet screaming
And then....
The intro synth line to "Everybody" starts....
"I know you've been waiting...
Yeah, I've been watching you..."
And everybody starts dancing.
*********
Get well soon my queen!

I like to add, I can barely afford one ticket and I know some aren't able to attend even one show for either financial reasons or she's not playing in their country, etc.  Yet, it's insulting to read someone who has three tickets, only to rant and rave and assume she's faking this.  Then only to turn around and laugh at others who try to make sense of what they are saying. How disrespectful is that?  
I know we are emotional over this, but there is no reason for such disrespect especially at this early stage.  I'd expect this sort of behavior on Twitter and other outside sources, but why should we justify it here, because it's being done elsewhere? 
I'd gladly give up my ONLY show if that meant, Madonna needed time to recover and get healthy again.  

Why buy three (expensive) tickets to go see such a horrible person, then?
You don't own her. She doesn't owe you anything.
And you'll get a refund, don't worry.

Wtf?!

The woman has just been out from ICU and all you care about is your 3 dates?
"Late statement"? This just happened last Saturday. Maybe they were waiting to even know what to say?
Gosh.

I think she could definitely do a few medley’s. And probably has to. If your think about it. She fit four complete songs in the Super Bowl in 12 minutes.

Candy Shop on 3 world tours and I am sure it will be on this upcoming one.

I would be happy with this Celebration Tour Setlist
