Madonna suffered her second onstage meltdown in a week during a show in Melbourne, Australia. The Queen of Pop was obviously upset over her legal battle for custody over son Rocco with former husband Guy Ritchie.
The 57-year-old Madonna was drinking tequila onstage from a hip flask owned by a fan during her concert at Rod Laver Arena.
It was actually the second time in a span of one week that Madonna had been drinking and having a meltdown onstage during a gig. Just days before, she suddenly cried in front of fans while performing in New Zealand.
Madonna was obviously emotionally struggling and asked the crowd who was going to take care of her. She also said that one thing she learned in life is to just go with it. She tipped that if she laughed hard, the pain will not hurt as much. She also fell of a tricycle and told fans that she messed up her songs. She joked that people may think that it was in her DNA. Madonna proceeded to dedicate a song for her son, whose childhood picture was shown onstage.
“Being cut out of Rocco’s life has hit Madonna hard and it’s clear she blames Guy,” one insider said in a report by Mail Online.
Her 15-year-old son reportedly decided to live with his father in London, which devastated the “Material Girl” singer. Earlier in March 2016, Madonna’s representatives told a High Court judge in London that the singer plans to recover from her dispute with Ritchie, writes Mirror. Justice MacDonald presided over the private hearings in the court’s Family Division involving the former couple’s custody case. Rocco was present during the hearing, although both his parents were absent. The three of them were represented by separate legal counsels.
Despite her emotional bout onstage, Madonna managed to power through her concert. Many fans were pleased to watch the singer live and sing many of her famous hits. However, many were also upset about having to wait four hours. Madonna said that she was not making any money from the tour because of all her late fines. She was reportedly rehearsing which caused the delay. She claimed that she was not drunk, although she did have dancers send her an alcoholic beverage on stage.
More updates and details on Madonna and her legal battles are expected soon.
