Unfortunately this is so unprofessional, just imagine flying from US or Asia to this date... booking flights/hotels EVERYTHING... & then before one day it’s canceled??? & what??? The debut date for London??? What about the celebrities??? So so unprofessional... fans are flying across overseas to see her. ? she can just cancel everything. Or at least give people the chance to attend the other date?!?! 

I think at this point fans are prepared for the potential disappointment. Buying multiple tickets, booking flights/accommodation late, expecting it to be more of an expense than originally planned... I know that doesn’t make it good but she really does have an injury and is in a lot of pain. So I’m not sure what you expect her to do? She’s either going to disappoint 50-60,000 people across London and Paris or 10-20,000 by cancelling some shows. Either one is going to have the same impact at this point for most people. There’s nothing she can do about it. Even if she postponed the tour people would lose money. They are doing what they can I think.

she really can’t. She is paying by herself the rest of the cancelled dates.

We don’t know that - pure speculation and assumptions based on no facts

however with any insurance and a pre-existing condition either the cost is sky high to accommodate the higher risks to the insurer for the possibility of cancellations, or often any cancellations related to a pre existing condition are not covered - and even then to have any chance of getting an insurer to pay up requires a lot of procedure and tick boxes to do things “exactly right” under the policy wording...

insurance companies are business who make 99% of their money based on no claims and payouts happening - underwriters, risk reviews and health screening would be standard and not declaring the problem as pre existing would nullify the insurance, it might be that they have clauses sending in their own medical assessor on the day prior to agreeing a payout for any cancellation... and that this has been tough to get them to agree up until the last minute.. and each time after her having more regular independent dr reviews before the insurer covers the costs

she has been gambling with this injury for months rather than slowing down much and this damage is going to be cumulative, please madonna think of the bigger long term impact on yourself!

all of this is speculation based on personal and commercial experience of insurers and underwriters (2nd job when younger (over 20 years ago now - wow I’m old) was as tech support for a software company that had product used for reselling commercial insurance)  - no one knows her contractual obligations or the insurance that does or doesn’t cover cancellations related to the knee

Exactly. If she still feels she’s able to do some shows, I think we should respect that. She’s a grown woman and I think we have to trust that if she really couldn’t do the tour at all then she wouldn’t be. Obviously it’s devastating if your show gets cancelled but I’m sure she sees it as disappointing a portion of her fans or disappointing all of them. She’s doing what she can and that’s respectable.

The whole situation is far from ideal but out of everyone I’m sure she feels that the most, it must be infuriating having your body not let you do what you want it to do.

I think that the best way for both M and us fans is to reschedule the remaining shows in London and Paris. Sit down with your management and plan like 2-3 shows per week with days to rest in between. I mean she is not going to perform all shows either way, so just cancel the back to back shows NOW and let us know which shows will go on as planned. This way we as fans will have enough time in advance to cancel flights, accomodations etc. and she can go on with the tour doing at least a few shows and resting in between. If it is not possible then cancel the whole thing and take your time to recover, but this way it's just not working, neither for her nor for us fans.

My point is, she can’t just keep on canceling RANDOM dates coz of her injury!!! She’s in pain with injury, that’s the situation... she won’t recover by canceling few dates... what’s the point of resting for one day? This type won’t heal by day & night... 

She can do whatever she wants.  It's her show. It's her body!  What's the point of you sleeping nightly?  You rest.  Agreeably, I think most of us feel that the time in between shows isn't enough time for her to heal. Most think she probably should just cancel the rest of the tour if she's in that much pain.  Though, in her defense, she trying hard to stick to performing as many shows as possible. Remember, she's been dealing with the pain since the beginning of the tour.  She has done more shows than not.  Yes, it's very disappointing to fans when she cancels, especially those who traveled and have hotels booked.  However, how you get to her concerts and where you stay isn't her responsibility.  When she cancels, a refund is issued for the ticket bought.  Also, keep in mind, she has to still pay her crew, staff and the venue when she cancels. You don't hear her complaining about that, do you? 

It's understandable for those who are disappointed.  But you must know that, far more people will be out of money if she cancels the rest of the tour.

I do agree but the fact is they’ve had plenty of time to think about it and work out a plan of attack and haven’t changed their approach really. At this point I think we have to just accept this is how it’s going to be. Fans constantly repeating the same ideas and concerns over and over on forums and Instagram isn’t going to change anything. It’s just getting tiresome at this point. All these brilliant ideas that fans repeat over and over they will have already considered.

Re-scheduling isn't as easy as you think.  Most of these venues need to be booked almost a year in advance.  Also, her crew may not be available for those later dates. But I think we can agree she could sit down and choose what dates she can perform without them being back to back to one another.  Maybe keep all the scheduled dates on Sundays and Thursdays of each week until the end of the tour. Cancel the rest.   Unfortunately, those venues will still want their money for those nights she cancelled.  So it isn't just the fans losing out money.  Still, It would be ideal to announce it ahead of time, that way those who had plans to attend can make changes to any travel and accommodation plans.

At this point, I don't see this even happening.  I think we're just going to have the same routine in cancelling.  We just need to accept the way it is; and appreciate that she's still willing to continue the tour even in pain.

That’s the best thing to do atm... at least people won’t have nightmares about canceling dates at the last minute. + she can get a proper healing. Btw with injury she won’t perform well... lol in London people won’t let it go easily.

The thing is; if it isn't this, it would be something else the media will be giving Madonna a hard time over.  What we do know is that even with the canceled shows, she still gets rave reviews in each city she performs.  People tend to gravitate to negativity rather think of the positive.  I prefer to see it as, she's still going on with the show more than not, even though she is in great pain.

Not in good way... goddddd I want her to shine & slayyyy, unfortunately won’t happen... ? don’t know maybe she’s doing this to play it well at the opening??? Let’s pray! ??????

Keep in mind, she isn't doing this on purpose.  She is indeed in pain, so what the media tries to paint, is just another day to her.  She will carry on just fine, no matter what the media says.  And in two or three years when she's on the road again, she will once again "shine and slay".  I personally think she is still shining now.  Fans are making more of a fuss over it than anyone else. Madame X is still a great show and everyone even the critics who have seen it, have nothing but positive things to say about it.
