Madonna fans are not pleased with the pop diva's strange behavior on her current Rebel Hearts tour. First, she was accused of being intoxicated on stage, and now, she's showing up several hours later.
The 57-year-old singer arrived at her concert in Brisbane, Australia over two hours late Wednesday night. She was supposed to take the stage at 9 p.m., but she didn't show up until 11:22 p.m., leaving her dedicated fans extremely unhappy.
When Madonna finally took the stage, she didn't seem to care that her fans were booing her and demanding refunds. "It's you people that get here early, that's the problem," she said to the crowd. "Stay home, do your hair and makeup, have a tequila. Roll yourself a fan one."
The fans demanding refunds were particularly upset because the concert ended up going well past 1 a.m., and the last train from the venue left at 12:17 a.m. Prior to her arrival, Brisbane Entertainment Centre management had even warned the fans that Madonna probably wouldn't take the stage earlier than 10:30 p.m. They have also told fan's headed to her show Thursday night to expect similar delays, even though the superstar told the crowd that this "hardly ever happens."
Her tardiness was not the only negative aspect of the show, as she seemed to be stumbling around the stage, specifically when she performed her hit song "Like a Virgin."
This news comes just days after Madonna took to social media to deny the recent claims that she has been performing under the influence. "Too bad people don't know the art of acting and playing a character," she wrote. "I could never do any of my shows high or drunk. And yes underlying all of shits is sexism and mysongony which proves that not only do we not get equal pay but we are still treated like heretics if we step out of the line and think outside the box! Sexism is alive and kicking but I am #livingforlove."
In January, while Madonna performed in Louisville, Ky., several fans accused her of being "very drunk" and "trash talking" the crowd. "This concert experience has been one of the weirdest of my life," one fan tweeted. "I'm pretty sure Madonna is hammered drunk on stage."
