    Madonna's first ever greatest hits tour will be "a documentary through her vast career" that includes more than 40 songs, her musical director says.
    In an exclusive interview, Stuart Price told the BBC the show draws on four decades of archive footage and studio recordings to tell the star's story.
    "A greatest hit doesn't have to be a song," he said. "It can be a wardrobe, it can be a video, or a statement." 
    He added that Madonna was back to full strength after a summer health scare.
    The superstar was found unconscious in her New York apartment in June and rushed to hospital, where she received treatment for a serious bacterial infection.
    Lucky to be alive
    The singer later said she was "lucky to be alive", and postponed the start of the sold-out Celebration Tour from July to October.
    The premiere will now take place at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.
    "The person that is going to take the stage looks incredible, sounds incredible, performs incredible," said Price, reassuring fans that the 65-year-old had fully recovered.
    He added that the three-month delay had been used to polish the show.
    "Madonna has very high expectations of how much hard work people will put into something," he said. "It's very uncompromising - but she's equally as hard on herself.
    "So when she took a break, that pause created an opportunity to further enhance the show. And I'm sure the opportunity [for her] to focus on being 100% well was greatly received as well."
    Since she burst onto the UK charts with Holiday in 1984, Madonna has scored another 71 hits, including 13 number one singles.
    Some, like Vogue, Like A Prayer and Ray of Light, are era-defining anthems. Others, like Live To Tell and Don't Tell Me, are beloved fan favourites. So how did they finalise the set-list?
    "That was the big challenge," admitted Price. "In two hours, can you get all of it in? That's hard. But every great moment she's had, we took a bit of it."
    Many hits will be played in full, some will be interpolated into other songs, and still more will be used as "bridges" between acts. 
    Price suggested a ballpark figure of 25 songs would be performed, with elements of 20 more appearing in some form.
    And what about a Taylor Swift-style acoustic section, where different tracks can be rotated into the playlist every night?
    "Well, Madonna's reputation is for being highly precise and highly rehearsed across all departments. When you look at a tour of this scale, it has so many moving parts, so many elements, that everything has to be highly fixed. 
    "But there's one thing that's always dynamic, and that's Madonna herself. Her personality is so strong, her interaction with the audience is so strong, that it creates opportunities for variation from night to night."

    The singer later said she was "lucky to be alive", and postponed the start of the sold-out Celebration Tour from July to October.
    The premiere will now take place at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.
    "The person that is going to take the stage looks incredible, sounds incredible, performs incredible," said Price, reassuring fans that the 65-year-old had fully recovered.
    He added that the three-month delay had been used to polish the show.
    "Madonna has very high expectations of how much hard work people will put into something," he said. "It's very uncompromising - but she's equally as hard on herself.
    "So when she took a break, that pause created an opportunity to further enhance the show. And I'm sure the opportunity [for her] to focus on being 100% well was greatly received as well."
    Since she burst onto the UK charts with Holiday in 1984, Madonna has scored another 71 hits, including 13 number one singles.
    Some, like Vogue, Like A Prayer and Ray of Light, are era-defining anthems. Others, like Live To Tell and Don't Tell Me, are beloved fan favourites. So how did they finalise the set-list?
    "That was the big challenge," admitted Price. "In two hours, can you get all of it in? That's hard. But every great moment she's had, we took a bit of it."
    Many hits will be played in full, some will be interpolated into other songs, and still more will be used as "bridges" between acts. 
    Price suggested a ballpark figure of 25 songs would be performed, with elements of 20 more appearing in some form.
    And what about a Taylor Swift-style acoustic section, where different tracks can be rotated into the playlist every night?
    "Well, Madonna's reputation is for being highly precise and highly rehearsed across all departments. When you look at a tour of this scale, it has so many moving parts, so many elements, that everything has to be highly fixed. 
    "But there's one thing that's always dynamic, and that's Madonna herself. Her personality is so strong, her interaction with the audience is so strong, that it creates opportunities for variation from night to night."

    It was her biggest hit of the 00s...you'd think for an artist so obsessed with staying relevant that she'd be doing her big more recent hits. The only proper representation of the 00s is Don't Tell Me, a massacred version of Hung Up, Die Another Day, and Sorry? C'mon....
    Where's Music? 4 Minutes? The ORIGINAL Hung Up? Give It 2 Me? Celebration?
    How odd...

    Conversely - message boards are for expressing thoughts and opinions. If you don't like other's thoughts and opinions - log out and skip the message board.
    Madonna has a 40 year career. There's bound to be divergent opinions.
    We are on the eve of a new era with this tour and celebration of 40 years. Despite what you read here, we've had mostly no leaks regarding the setlist, visual direction, etc. We are all on edge and hungry for information.
    This too shall pass. 5 days left.

    But... where it was stated that it was a "commercial chart-topper" only tour? It was said that she would celebrate her career. Of course we know she'll do LAP, LAV, La Isla, Holiday, Vogue, Express Yourself, Material Girl, Music, Ray of Light, Papa Don't Preach because she's been doing more or less those same songs on every tour since Re-Invention Tour.

    I think it is more likely we get singles that were "flops" that she likes than hit singles we know she doesn't like as much.
    This is the woman who shoved Candy Shop and Human Nature down our throats and made us like it. This is the woman who in 1985 sang a number #16 song, a b-side in the US and a new song at Live Aid when people were probably expecting Like a Virgin, Material Girl and Crazy for You. This is the woman who, more than once, did not sing singles from the album that the Tour was supposed to promote.

    Yeah reinventions lighting is dire and it looked like they lost two trucks of stage set somewhere on the motorway the night of filming. It’s her most overrated show for sure.

    If there is only room for one song from COADF, I’d be more than pissed to have ANYTHING from that terrible album waste space on the setlist.

    Isn't it pretty obvious? The whole first segment is her behaving badly, swearing, wearing underwear as outerwear, having fun and sex and then she needs to repent for it which leads to the second section of the show.

    apart from the Kylie bs (which I also don't get) people are discussing the very few rumors and spoilers that we have, isn't that what this thread is for? Ticket prices and merch delays can discussed in the normal thread
