Madonna’s tour has already been fraught with drama after already being forced to cancel 14 shows, with the most recent being her first performance in Paris last Thursday.
Last month, Madonna described being ‘in tears from the pain of my injuries’. She said: ‘I consider myself a warrior. I never quit, I never give in, I never give up! However, this time I have to listen to my body and accept my pain is a warning.’

And fans claimed Saturday’s show had been heavily delayed, with some posting the singer did not take to the stage until midnight, when she was due to perform three and a half hours earlier.
According to French site RTL, a technician claimed the the performance was delayed to ‘unforeseen technical problems,’ caused by certain decorations for the tour not being compatible with the concert’s venue.
The publication also reported the show eventually ended at 2:15am on Sunday morning, leaving many of the 2,800 fans in attendance struggling to travel home.
Many took to Twitter to share their outrage following the delay, which many claimed ranged from 2.5 hours to 4 hours.
One tweeted: ‘How could you be more disrespectful to your fans? Several shows cancelled without any reasons (we still had to pay for our plane tickets to go to Paris, thank you very much) and now you start your show 4 hours late… Your behaviour is a shame! You shouldn’t sing anymore…’
Another penned: ‘Does @Madonna know that her fans have a life, are parents who have their children babysat to come and see her? People who work the next day. This delay is completely disrespectful. #Madonna #Paris #GrandRex.’

A third also tweeted: ‘Madonna was 2 hours late in Paris last night and her show didn’t end until 2:15am. Madame X is… an insomniac vampire bat, feasting on the blood of her exhausted stans.’
‘Three hours late is unacceptable for a queen like you. We have schedules to respect in Paris,’ an irate fan also posted.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Madonna and Live Nation for comment.
