US pop star Madonna has been sued by two of her fans over delays in concert appearances. In a civil lawsuit, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden accuse the 65-year-old singer of arriving on stage two hours late at concerts in New York in December. The two plaintiffs are demanding undisclosed damages.
“The concerts at the Barclays Center were scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. according to the announcement,” says the statement of claim filed in a federal court in New York, which was seen by the AFP news agency on Friday. “Madonna didn’t come on stage until following 10:30 p.m. on all three evenings, and most concertgoers left the Barclays Center following 1 a.m..”
The singer of hits like “Like a Virgin,” “Material Girl” and “Like a Prayer” is known for starting her concerts unpunctually and acting “carelessly,” the lawsuit continues. That’s why fans would wait hours for the concerts to start. Some were “stranded in the middle of the night” following the concerts because they missed their rides back or public transport.
A representative for Madonna, the Barclays Center concert arena in New York’s Brooklyn borough and concert promoter LiveNation did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The singer had to postpone the start of her “Celebration Tour” concert tour last summer due to a serious illness.
The singer, born Madonna Louise Ciccone, is one of the biggest pop stars of the past decades. She has released 14 studio albums since the early 1980s and won the coveted Grammy Music Award seven times. The mother of two biological children and four adopted children also appeared in several films as an actress.
