BUT he is there on stage. Madonna's voice on some songs is just horrible.
Remember Open Your Heart on Blond Ambition?
Madonna knows well that she is finished if she doesn't do this tour. Future album won't sell etc.
Mylene at 61 still do shows with at least 40 000 people. A stadium is sold out in less than one hour.
And that's why she just did plastic surgery. To be perfect. Too bad that it caused infection.
