What is there to consider? It’s not as though this is an autobiography of his life. It is a tell all about Madonna’s life, and more to the point, her personal life. Key word here is PERSONAL. If Madonna had said that she agreed to him writing this book then I would have been on board with it and would have read it, but she clearly was not happy that he had wrote it and I dare say it hurt her very much. So with that in mind I will not read it or support it. I’m a Madonna fan and I have her back, just like she’s had ours for 40 years. 

REST should be first on the agenda. She deserves to take a good few months to just chill out and not have to think about anything for a while. Perhaps in the fall she will start to look at putting the Celebration Tour film out and celebrating the 40th anniversary of Like a Virgin. I guess that will be it for the rest of this year. Maybe the early part of 2025 she can start looking at a new album. I don’t expect a second leg of the tour. I imagine she will want to end this tour with the massive highlight that is Rio. 

She deserves a break. She nearly died and as soon as she was given a couple of months of rest, she was right back at it.  She deserves some time to herself.  Spend time with the family away from all the noise.  She should take a long vacation.  Come back this fall, with the release of her Celebration Tour on streaming platforms (maybe a physical format at some sort?) and start recording a new album. I don't expect any thing new from her in the sense of new music or album until next year some time.  Meanwhile, we can only hope Warner is planning to roll out a fabulous expanded re-issue of Like A Virgin in celebration of it's 40th anniversary. 
Most of all, she deserves a long break and then come back strong with new music. 

AMEN! 🙌

AMEN! 🙌

AMEN! 🙌

She appears to ask them to turn off the AC and then says “last time”….so read into that what you will. It seems they had been asked numerous times and they did not do what she asked. It’s only natural that she is going to lose her shit.

Sitting studying videos of her shows and worrying about her "reactions" each night really is not healthy.

God forbid she can be human and not a robot and be out of cue arriving to the piano ahead of time for the first time in this tour. And immediately saying sorry to Mercy after.
Lucky you didn't see in the past how many times she's missed some step on the "Papa Don't Preach" bed scene cause again, she's not a robot and every show is a different show and will have its own particularities. With her and everyone else.
The "Human Nature" exact point in your video is always like that on every show, it's an act: she's arrested by the police and she insults them. She even spits on them sometimes.
It's a SHOW.
Honestly. It's like some of you are expecting drama or something very bad to happen, when she's championing this tour so far like the 40+ years professional she is.
Let go of the drama. There's no drama, just a professional artist making everything she can to finish a tour and offer the best for her audiences.

It's not on hold or nullified -  the focus is the tour obviously. The tour delay may have resulted in the adjustment of the release schedule however we are still getting streaming releases, vinyls (True Blue / Celebration) and it's likely we will see more after the tour - you'll also notice merch has also been exclusively for the tour. That's the focus.

To a degree, depends. But I hope she's okay!

She wanted to meet her but she didn't get her text message to say she was coming til a long time after the fact. 

I’m currently reading the Mary Gabriel biography “A Rebel Life”, which is fantastic by the way. She talks about the Virgin Tour in some length and explains that the Burning Up performance was very sexually provocative and at one point she simulates giving Paul Pesco a BJ. She says that because Madonna’s grandma was in the audience in Detroit that night, they cut the Burning Up performance and didn’t perform it out of respect for her grandma. I’ve never heard that story before. Very interesting. So Burning Up wouldn’t have been included anyway. 

This has been said countless times, but some fans are conveniently dismissing things happening from this deal, all because their focus is on one portion of the deal. Most are simply focused on the re-issues when in reality the deal was more than just about that.  I don't get why some are missing that point?  Let's remember, MX TOUR EXPERIENCE was released under Warner, right after the announcement (in October).  No doubt, if Warner didn't make the announcement why they were distributing the tour audio, then fans would be confused. Therefore, they just laid out their plans for the unsee-able future.  They announced a "Multi-Year deal".  The idea of the deal was to house her complete catalog by 2025 under Warner. While that happening, they also laid out plans of releasing new curated projects which has happened such as FEL and American Life Mix Show.  We also got the re-issue of Everybody (40th Anniversary) and Erotica Vinyl. Not only that, they had already started the ball rolling for updating the streaming and digital platforms with her back catalog that hadn't been up yet.  So again, this wasn't just about the "re-issues".  That was just one part of the deal, while the bigger picture was to inform the public that she and Warner agreed on a deal to bring all her catalog under Warner and curate special projects that included curating new projects as well as eventually re-issuing "LANDMARK" albums in Deluxe Edition format.  I realize the latter hasn't happened yet, but there was never any promise that to happen right away. But to say, nothing has happened from this deal would be inaccurate.  I think there was a perfectly good reason in making the announcement when they did.  The MX TOUR EXPERIENCE became the first new distribution under Warner.  So of course, they are going to go public with the deal made at that time.

Nothing has been cancelled!  The deal is currently in motion. I think some of you are so stuck on the Re-issues of the album, you are ignoring the whole picture to this deal. The idea is to get her whole catalog under one roof by 2025 as well as curating new projects from it, etc.  This has been happening since the deal was announce if not before hand.  The digital and streaming adds, the numerous releases such as MXTour experience, FEL, American Life Mix Show, and the other physical releases, some fans claim to have no interest in and shrug it off as it's nothing. It may be nothing to them, but it's all part of the deal.  Remember, the deal was specified to be happening for multiple years.  In fact, they even mentioned that in 2025 the Interscope albums will start to become licensed under Warner. Nothing is cancelled!  Nothing is on pause.  More is to come!  You just need to be patient and stop thinking it's only about her studio albums being re-issued!  It's more than just about that!

If that’s the case, what’s the point in releasing a “deluxe” set at all? Fans aren’t going to rush out and buy it if it’s kept close to the original release and there’s nothing new to entice fans to purchase it.  Most artists these days are releasing deluxe editions of their albums which include demos, unreleased tracks, remixes etc. Warner have signed a deal with her to personally curate deluxe, expanded versions of her landmark albums. If it’s just going to be the album and a couple of remixes, they need not bother. 

You are missing the point. I will leave it at that.

Exactly!  No one has to read it to know where this is all coming from.  I personally have no interest in what he has to say, because we know it's just his word against hers.  Still, I don't doubt he doesn't share tidbits, but it doesn't change the fact, he wrote this to make a quick buck off his sister! 

I too have never read it. M gave him some fantastic opportunities and he repays her by writing a book about her and her life to make a quick buck. He has no integrity at all and I don’t blame her for not trusting him again. I hope she has moved on and forgiven him for her own peace of mind, but like they say, you can forgive but never forget. She deserves more respect from her brother. 

Never read it!  Never will!  Not giving a dime to this self-entitled asshole who got mad at his sister because she cut him off because he couldn't handle his drug use, etc. My guess, the two will always have this ugly blemish between them, and he's lost any chance she would trust him to work for her in the future.  I'm guessing; she let bygones be bygones for the sake of her father and chose to put it behind her, rather stay pissed over it.  Doesn't mean she doesn't think about it, or have an issue with Christopher still, but all in all, he is the worst to write a book on his sister that he knew some would lap up like a thirsty dog to water.
