A Bittersweet Farewell
Paris - 10 March 2020The show's over, say good-bye: our report from the last show
Paris - 8 March 2020While yesterday's fans had the bad luck of enduring a cancellation, tonight's fans were lucky to get the full show, starting a bit before 11pm. Throughout the show, she was obviously in pain, moving very carefully.
At the polaroid moment, she said she didn't think her show was the best and she apologized to the crowd for the many cancellations. She was so vulnerable that the crowd gave her a heartwarming standing ovation. The polaroid was sold for €4.100 ("that's specific, did you break open your piggy bank?") to Salvatore from Italy (who was actually a messenger for the actual buyer, his friend Stefano, who was sitting high on the balcony). The beer bitch was Fahri, a French standup comedian with parents from Cape Verde.
After Human Nature, as she stood on stage with her 3 youngest daughters, she spoke about International Women's Day: "When you don't realise we're all in the same boat, we will all sink". At the end of Medellin, her son David made a surprise appearance on stage.
A lot of parts of the show were being filmed. Apart from photographer Ricardo Gomes, there was another crew member often seen filming with a go-pro and a mobile phone. Ricardo also filmed the exit of I Rise.
News now comes in that the French government has issued a ban on events of more than 1.000 participants, which would affect the last 2 shows. That would mean tonight's show was the last one.
The show is over, say good-bye 🖤
Sipping champagne with Christine (and the Queens)
Paris - 5 March 2020Surprise: last night Madonna performed the long version of the show, for a 2nd night in a row. The polaroid was sold for €4.200 to a fan named Alan. The beer champagne bitch was Chris from Christine and the Queens. Next show: Saturday.
