Update #68: Madonna not allowed to perform ‘Holy Water’ in Singapore
Will Madonna be a true Rebel Heart and perform ‘Holy Water’ in Singapore?

Madonna will not be allowed to perform the song Holy Water at her upcoming first Singapore show at the National Stadium on Feb 28, says the Media Development Authority (MDA).

An MDA spokesperson says in a statement…

Madonna’s upcoming Rebel Heart Tour concert has been rated R18 as it contains sexually suggestive content which is more suitable for adults.
This is reflected in the consumer advice so that the public can make an informed choice.
The concert organiser must comply with the terms of the license, which states that the concert should not contain content or materials which offend any race or religion, and that the performance overall must fall within the guidelines of the R18 rating.
Minor adjustments were made to ensure R18 licensing conditions could be met without compromise to the delivery of a first-rate and world-class performance.
The final running order and set list for the Singapore performance will be determined by the artiste and revealed at the show itself within the set guidelines.

In determining the rating, MDA had carefully reviewed the proposed setlist and consulted the Arts Consultative Panel. Religiously sensitive content which breach our guidelines, such as the song Holy Water, will thus not be performed in Singapore.

According to a statement from Live Nation Lushington, one of the parties involved in arranging the Madonna show for Singapore…

The artiste management and tour management worked closely with MDA on providing show, video and lyric content and the suggested set list for Singapore.

Update #67: Singapore date confirmed again
After announcing the Singapore Rebel Heart Tour date and removing it a day later from Madonna’s official website, Mediacorp VizPro just confirmed Madonna is definitely coming to Singapore.
No date has been set yet…

Update #66: European Rebel Heart Tour Box Scores – Part 2 – SOLD OUT
Billboard just announced the second batch of European Rebel Heart Tour box scores and they were all sold out!
Madonna leads Billboard’s latest Hot Tours ranking with the newest reported box office sales data from her global trek.

The new Hot Tours tally includes grosses from 14 shows in eight markets during the European leg of the tour.

Box office revenue from all eight markets totals $22.6 million from 194,827 sold tickets at 14 performances. One venue, Turin, Italy’s Pala Alpitour, hosted the pop legend for three shows (Nov. 19, 21-22). Arenas in four cities, Barcelona, London, Amsterdam, and Paris, brought in the tour for two nights.

Overall sales from the Rebel Heart Tour now total $80 million from 45 concerts during the first two legs of the tour, through Dec. 10.

622,048 fans have seen the tour since the opening jaunt through North America that ran from Sept. 9 until Oct. 29. The run through Europe followed, kicking off on Nov. 4 in Germany.

Billboard has received sales data from Europe through the two nights in Paris on Dec. 9 and 10. Revenue from shows in Zurich and three U.K. markets, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, have yet to be reported from the fall leg.

The Rebel Heart Tour’s European leg wrapped on Dec. 20 in Glasgow. The tour will restart in North America on Jan. 6 in Mexico City for a pair of shows, before swinging back to the U.S. for eight performances. Following that, Madonna will play Puerto Rico, a series of Asian countries, first-ever shows in New Zealand, and her first tour of Australia in over 20 years. The tour is scheduled to close on March 20, 2016 in Sydney.
