The Sydney Morning Herald reports
Madonna has once again snubbed her Australian fans after scrapping
plans to tour next year.
The singer's concert promoter Live Nation confirmed the
cancellation today, ruling out extra dates on her MDNA world tour.
"Madonna's tour will end in South America in December as
planned. That's all we can say," a spokesperson said.
Madonna was due to confirm summer dates earlier this month but
delayed the announcement until after the Olympics.
Stadiums had reportedly been booked in Sydney and Melbourne for
her first Australian tour since 1993.
The 53-year-old star is currently on tour in Europe where some of
her shows have been met with controversy. She flashed a nipple to a largely Islamic
audience in Istanbul and displayed a Nazi swastika in Paris.
Critics have claimed ticket prices are too high despite several of
the concerts on her 87-date world tour selling out in record time.
Madonna offered words of advice to anyone quibbling over the
ticket price - but it no longer applies to Aussie fans.
"People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like
handbags," she told Newsweek.
"So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm
worth it."
