Madonna Cancels Australian Tour, Puts Gun To Her Head Onstage

.Ugh, Madonna. We’ve had about enough of you and your constant need to “push buttons” onstage. The pop star, who announced that she is canceling her Australian tour dates today, thought it would be so innovative to put a gun to her head while performing in London. Hilarious! And so ground-breaking!
.Between the purposeful nip slips and the swastika videos, Madonna seems like that kid in the classroom who can only get attention by misbehaving. Except instead of coming off as actually controversial and interesting, she’s just grating on our nerves. So maybe Australia should count itself lucky that the singer has withdrawn her plans to head down under on her current tour. According to Hollywood Reporter, Madonna hasn’t actually toured in Australia in over 20 years, “citing logistical and financial problems.” A spokesperson for Live Nation, the singer’s concert promoter, said, “Madonna’s tour will end in South America in December as planned. That’s all we can say.”
.So, bummer Australia. It sounds like you may be waiting a long time to ever see Madonna perform. And that may be in your favor. At a show last night in London’s Hyde Park the singer pulled out a silver pistol and pointed it at her head and then crotch while singing. She later emerged with a AK-47 assault rifle held over her head. This isn’t the first time guns have appeared as props during a Madonna concert, but what is seemingly meant to be shocking now just comes across as stale. Here’s a photo from the show, courtesy of Radar:

.Do you find that shocking? Or even interesting? Have you had enough of Madonna or is she still doing something worthwhile? Tell us in the comments.

10 of 35MoreI was going to get tickets to see Madonna in Cleveland. I do not think she has to do such shocking things to make her concert great.With the shooting in Colorado. We have enough . She has to think that maybe the next time she does that it maybe loaded and it will go off into her head.
Madonna, babe it's not the end of the world, life goes on, please dont be suicidal, nor persuade anyone into committing suicide.
Madonna needs to grow up, she is washed up, so by putting a silver gun to her head, I guess she's telling us that this is the END OF HER LIFE as a entertainer. This is what she teaches her children @ home, when they think that there is no more life onstage, just show the public that, YOU COULD JUST BLOW YOUR FUCKIN BRAINS OUT with the vagina.
She is an asshole. She is past history. Bye.
I love you 'unty Madonna...because you're still beautiful to me !

I like the gun photos...remember its just entertainment ?
when has she done anything worthwhile when performing, anyway. maybe some her songs are alright, but her performances and hijinks we can do without
You think she really gives a flying F*CK what anyone says?!?! People and media have been screaming about the sh*t she's been doing since the beginning... why does anyone thing anything's changed now. Madonna's just coming full circle and getting old... but then again, so are all of us who grew up listening to her. Your opinions mean less than those of nazis, and you're all insignifiCUNTS!!!!!!!
I hope the gun wasn't loaded.
actually moron if u listen to the new album the GUN is part of the SONG. most VIDEO artists incorporate the song lyrics into a performance. wow what a concept u dork!!
The photos are way out of context. A professional and hard-working reporter and author would include what song she was singing and what phrase she was singing during each photo, right?? Otherwise isn't this just more trolling with a new twist in the form of incomplete reporting?
And who can blame Madonna the hot mama for working hard in her career? She's a performer as well as an artist. She's performing a show. Was the reporter/author even there at the show? Or just surfing for quick pics for a quick reactionary tabloid-style article?
WHO was there at the show?
