Singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Courtney Love</a> had some criticism for some fellow <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">recording artists</a>, which she candidly shared during a recently published <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/courtney-love-bbc-6-music-interview-taylor-swift-b1151094.html">interview</a> with U.K.-based outlet The Standard.
The 59-year-old took aim at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lana-del-rey">Lana Del Rey</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/beyonce">Beyoncé</a> specifically.
“Taylor is not important,” Love told the outlet of the global pop star. “She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”
The alt-rocker said she and the Material Girl don’t get along, either. 
“I don’t like her and she doesn’t like me,” Love said of Madonna. “I loved [the 1985 American comedy-drama film] ‘Desperately Seeking Susan,’ but for the city of New York as much as her.”
At another point in the interview, the former Hole band member said she’s also not a fan of Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter. 
“I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much. As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music,” she explained.
She also voiced her critique of Grammy-nominated singer Del Rey: “I haven’t liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off. Up until ‘Take Me Home Country Roads,’ I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much.”

Love went on to say that contemporary artists overall sound too much alike. “It’s great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliché,” she told the outlet. “Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music. They’re all the same. If you play something on Spotify, you get bombarded with a lot of stuff that’s exactly the same.”
Love is best known for her rise to fame in the alternative and grunge scenes of the 1990s as a member of the band Hole, plus for her marriage to fellow rock star Kurt Cobain. She also appeared in several films in the early 2000s.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a> is responding to two fans who filed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lawsuit">lawsuit</a> against the pop singer for starting her concert three hours late.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">Concert</a> attendees Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden sued Madonna and concert organizer Live Nation for false advertising when the singer didn’t take the stage until hours past the scheduled start time on December 13 at Barclays Center in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york">Brooklyn</a>. The two fans argued that concertgoers suffered hardship because of the late start.
The lawsuit claims they were “confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs at that late hour. In addition, many ticketholders who attended concerts on a weeknight had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day,&#8221; the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-13274443/Madonna-responds-late-concert-lawsuit-time.html">reported</a>. 
The document further accused Madonna and Live Nation of “wanton exercise in false advertising, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.”
Court documents obtained by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-13274443/Madonna-responds-late-concert-lawsuit-time.html">Daily Mail</a> show Madonna filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on Wednesday. The 65-year-old recording artist said via her lawyers that most fans understand that she’s not likely to be on time. 
“No reasonable concertgoer — and certainly no Madonna fan — would expect the headline act at a major arena concert to take the stage at the ticketed event time,” the motion filed on behalf of the pop star stated.
“Fans got just what they paid for: a full-length, high quality show by the Queen of Pop,” the document continued.
Madonna’s lawyers also presented evidence that one of the plaintiffs wrote a positively worded Facebook post after the show, saying the concert in question was “incredible as always.”

They further asserted that concert attendees are well aware of how long shows typically last. 
“The Complaint itself concedes that Madonna fans, like Mr. Hadden, would not expect Madonna to appear onstage at the printed 8:30 p.m. event time, alleging that she has a ‘years-long history’ of ‘arriving several hours late to prior concerts,’ such that ‘Plaintiffs knew or should have known that the Concerts would not start at 8:30 p.m.,’” the filing says. 
“Reasonable concertgoers also know that concert lengths vary based on numerous factors, such as the duration of the opening act and the artist’s set list for the night. So, they would not reasonably expect the night to end by 10:30 p.m. unless an advertisement or ticket says as much — and none did here.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a> called out a fan who wasn’t getting up to dance at a recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">concert</a>, only to discover the person was in a wheelchair.
During her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">show</a> at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Thursday, the 65-year-old pop singer directly addressed the individual from the stage. “What are you doing sitting down over there? What are you doing sitting down?” Madonna can be heard saying on video clips of the interaction. She walked to the edge of the stage to get a closer look at the offending party.
After seeing the concert attendee was in a wheelchair, the “Like a Virgin” singer quickly backtracked and apologized. “Oh, okay. Politically incorrect. Sorry about that,” she said after seeing the fan was in a wheelchair. “I’m glad you are here,” Madonna added.

Social media users wondered why someone should be called out for sitting down whether they were physically disabled or not.
“Does it matter if they’re sitting or standing? they paid for the ticket and took the time to be there? Isn’t that enough???” one account <a href="https://twitter.com/Across3Horizons/status/1766606894150439409">said</a>.
“Ok you shouldn&#8217;t be calling people out for sitting down anyways.

You want them to leave altogether?”

Madonna is currently on her Celebration Tour, which was postponed last year due to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-pretty-sure-god-spoke-to-her-during-near-death-experience">medical incident</a>. 
“This show every night is not really so hard on me physically. It’s hard on me emotionally because I’m really telling you the story of my life. My heart is on my sleeve,” she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-pretty-sure-god-spoke-to-her-during-near-death-experience">said</a> from the stage of one of her Inglewood shows last week. “I’ve fallen off a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones … but nothing can stop me.”
“I’m pretty sure that was God saying to me, ‘Do you want to come? Want to come up with me? [I said] no,&#8217;” Madonna said of her hospital experience.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a> said she thinks she heard the voice of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/god">God</a> during a serious <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/medical">medical event</a> she had last summer.
The 65-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">recording artist</a> revealed the “first word” she said after experiencing a “near-death experience” and waking up from a four-day medically induced coma.
&#8220;This show every night is not really so hard on me physically. It&#8217;s hard on me emotionally because I&#8217;m really telling you the story of my life. My heart is on my sleeve,&#8221; she said from the stage of a Los Angeles stop on her Celebration Tour this week, per <a href="https://people.com/madonna-reveals-first-word-waking-up-coma-los-angeles-celebration-tour-8604667">People</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;ve fallen off a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones &#8230; but nothing can stop me.&#8221;
The singer also brought up her time in the hospital.
&#8220;I&#8217;m pretty sure that was God saying to me, &#8216;Do you want to come? Want to come up with me? [I said] no,'&#8221; Madonna added, which made the audience break into a round of laughter.
The “Material Girl” singer also related a conversation she had with her manager, Guy Oseary, about what would happen after she left the hospital.
&#8220;He said, &#8216;Well, when do you think you want to go back on tour?&#8217; I took the oxygen out of my nose. I looked at him, and I said, &#8216;In two f****ing months!&#8221; she said. &#8220;I just said it. Sometimes you just have to say sh** [and] put it out in the universe. And it happens.&#8221;
Madonna reportedly had to be revived with Narcan and spent several days in the ICU as the result of a serious bacterial infection in June 2023. The event forced her to postpone her concert tour, which she has since resumed. The Grammy Award-winner revealed more about her time in the hospital.

&#8220;I would call in every other day and ask [my doctor] why I didn&#8217;t have any energy, when was my energy going to come back? When was I going to feel like myself again? When can I go on tour again?&#8221; she said. &#8220;All he would say is, &#8216;Go outside in the sun&#8217; &#8230; It was so hard for me to walk from my house to the backyard and sit in the sun. I know that sounds insane, but it was difficult.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s a strange thing to finally not feel like I was in control, and that was my lesson: to let go,&#8221; she added.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a>, age 65, fell off her chair during a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/seattle">Seattle</a> concert on her &#8220;The Celebration Tour&#8221; on Sunday.
The Grammy Award-winning singer was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">performing</a> &#8220;Open Your Heart” at the Climate Pledge Arena when the incident occurred. As Madonna began singing, one of her backup dancers started dragging her chair across the stage. That’s when the male dancer tripped while wearing high heels, causing the “Like a Virgin” singer to tumble off the chair onto the floor.
Videos of the fall show Madonna laughing it off. She got up and sat back down on the chair, though she was facing the opposite way. The singer can be heard saying, &#8220;Sh**, I forgot the words,” while the song kept playing in the background. This led to accusations of lip-syncing.

When a backup dancer brought her another chair, Madonna got back to singing, and the show went on.
Though the fall was mostly the fault of the stiletto-wearing backup dancer, this incident led fans to question Madonna&#8217;s decision to keep doing such physically demanding performances at her age. 
Images of the singer dancing on a moving platform while gripping a support pole made the rounds on social media in January. While many fans argued the pole was for her safety, others believed the performance to be risky.

Her “Celebration Tour” had to be rescheduled following a medical incident in 2023. Madonna was hospitalized in June with what her manager called a “serious bacterial infection,” and the tour was put on hold.
“Love from family and friends is the best Medicine,” the “Material Girl” singer captioned an Instagram post <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-praises-her-kids-says-shes-lucky-to-be-alive-after-hospitalization">reflecting</a> on the incident. “One month out of the hospital and I can reflect.”

She went on to credit her friends and family for helping her pull through.
“But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me,” she continued. “I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference. So did the love and support from my friends.”
Madonna said she was “lucky to be alive” and thanked all her “angels who protected” her.

Two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a> fans from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york">New York</a> are suing the pop singer for delaying her Brooklyn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">concert</a> two hours past the scheduled start time, a move which they say caused undue hardship and stress.
Michael Fellows of Brooklyn and Jonathan Hadden of The Bronx are upset in part because they had to be up early for work the next day. That made them especially aggravated when the 65-year-old star didn’t take the stage until close to 11 p.m. at her December 13 performance at Barclays Center. The show was part of the singer’s “Celebration Tour.”
The two men filed the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lawsuit">lawsuit</a> Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court, per <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/27/madonna-cancels-more-madame-x-shows-due-to-overwhelming-pain/">The New York Post</a>. The document states that their tickets showed a start time of 8:30 p.m. but Madonna didn’t start her portion of the show until around 10:45 p.m.
The lawsuit accuses Madonna, entertainment company Live Nation, and hosting venue Barclays Center of “unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices.”
Fellows and Hadden further noted that they were “confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and increased public and private transportation costs at that late hour,” side effects which were blamed on the late start time, the outlet noted.
“In addition, many ticketholders who attended concerts on a weeknight had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day,” the document says. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and hope to create a class action suit as other performances have also started later than advertised.

This isn’t the first time the Material Girl has been sued for being tardy. In 2019, Madonna was named in a class action lawsuit which sounded very similar to this latest complaint during her “Madame X” tour. 
 “Ticketholders [have] to work and go to school the next day, which prevent[s] them from attending a concert that would end at around 1:00 a.m.,” the suit said, per a <a href="https://pagesix.com/2019/11/10/fan-sues-madonna-saying-her-concert-starts-too-late/">PageSix</a> report at the time. Plaintiff Nate Hollander accused the pop star of having a “long history of arriving and starting her concerts late.”
Madonna responded to the accusations at the time, <a href="https://twitter.com/Madonna/status/1193030826574983171">telling</a> a crowd of concert attendees at the Colosseum in November 2019, “Here’s something you all need to understand, and that is … a queen is never late.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madonna</a> has canceled several shows and rescheduled other dates for her &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-announces-tour-dates-celebrating-four-decades-of-her-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebration Tour</a>&#8221; that had to be postponed after she got sick and spent several days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in June.
The 65-year-old pop singer was previously supposed to launch her new world tour on July 15 in Vancouver, British Columbia, with it running through October 8 in Las Vegas. She was hospitalized in June with what her manager called a &#8220;serious bacterial infection&#8221; and the tour was put on hold.
On Tuesday, Live Nation released the new dates for the tour celebrating her four decades of music, with the festivities now kicking off in October in London at the O2 Arena, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/madonna-celebration-tour-dates-icu-infection-health-47f9f956ffd66d96709461519e6ea6b6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a> reported.
The <a href="https://www.livenation.com/artist/K8vZ9171ub0/madonna-events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concert site</a> showed that the majority of the pop star&#8217;s North American tour dates have been rescheduled for the end of the year and 2024, kicking off on December 13 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and running through April.

However, five shows that were scheduled to hit large cities have been completely canceled. Those include concert dates in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tulsa, and Nashville due to scheduling conflicts. Refunds will be issued. More information can be found <a href="https://www.madonna.com/tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
In July, the international pop icon posted a message to fans after her hospital stay for the &#8220;bacterial infection&#8221; after being found unresponsive on June 24.

Madonna also thanked her children for their support and all her &#8220;angels who protected&#8221; her, letting her &#8220;stay&#8221; to finish her work.
She spent several days in the intensive care unit and was forced to postpone the start of her tour. Her manager Guy Oseary explained, at the time, via Instagram: &#8220;At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.&#8221;

&#8220;As a Mother you can really get caught up in the needs of your children and the seemingly endless giving ……….. But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference. So did the love and support from my friends.&#8221;

&#8220;If you zoom into this picture I am holding you will see a polaroid taken by Andy Warhol of Keith Haring wearing a jacket with Michael Jackson&#8217;s face painted on it,&#8221; Madonna continued. &#8220;A perfect triangle of Brilliance. Artist who touched so many lives including my own. I sobbed when I opened this gift because I realized how lucky I am to be alive. And how fortunate I am to have known these people and so many others who are also gone.&#8221;
Madonna closed her post by thanking all her &#8220;angels who protected&#8221; her and letting her &#8220;stay&#8221; to finish her work.
She spent several days in the intensive care unit and was forced to postpone the launch of her global tour. Madonna planned to kick off her &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-announces-tour-dates-celebrating-four-decades-of-her-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebration</a>&#8221; world tour on July 15 in Vancouver, billed as a celebration of her 40 years in the music industry.
Her manager Guy Oseary explained, at the time, via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CuC6w1TPH_l/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=2871716b-bb36-4bb8-9e5a-24f129404b2f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>. &#8220;At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.&#8221;
No other details about the tour have been released.

Madonna Praises Her Kids, Says She’s ‘Lucky’ To ‘Be Alive’ After Hospitalization

hospitalized

Singer Madonna released her first statement on Monday following her hospitalization last month after reportedly being revived with Narcan.
Madonna <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CuheQvlOgmo/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading">thanked</a> fans on Instagram for their &#8220;positive energy, [p]rayers and words of healing and encouragement,&#8221; saying that she felt their &#8220;love.&#8221;
&#8220;My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn&#8217;t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.&#8221;
She said that her focus was now on getting better so she could get back out on tour.
&#8220;The current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be more grateful for your care and support.&#8221;
The “Material Girl” singer was found unresponsive late last month and was rushed to the hospital, suffering from what her longtime manager Guy O’Seary described as a “serious bacterial infection.”
However, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-was-revived-with-narcan-before-being-rushed-to-hospital-report">report</a> from RadarOnline said that the infection may have been more serious than even he let on.
Sources reportedly told RadarOnline that the performer had to be revived with a Narcan injection when she was first discovered. While Narcan is most commonly used to treat narcotics overdoses, in Madonna’s case, it was believed to have been used for an entirely different reason: to reverse septic shock as a result of severe infection.
The sources did not indicate that the singer showed any signs of drug abuse or overdose, and her representatives have thus far declined to comment.
She has been released from the hospital, however, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rosie-odonnell-says-madonna-is-good-and-recovering-at-home-after-icu-stay">according</a> to longtime friend Rosie O’Donnell — and while she is still suffering the effects of the infection, she is on the road to recovery.
“She is recovering at home — she is very strong in general,” O’Donnell said of her “A League of Their Own” co-star.

Madonna was admitted to the ICU in June after developing a &#8220;serious bacterial infection,&#8221; according to her team.
&#8220;On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead (sic) to a several day stay in the ICU,&#8221; Madonna’s talent manager Guy Oseary <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CuC6w1TPH_l/">shared</a> Wednesday on Instagram. &#8220;Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.&#8221;
&#8220;We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.&#8221;

The unexpected illness forced the “Material Girl” singer to postpone her upcoming Celebration tour, which was scheduled to kick off in Vancouver on July 15. Madonna previously canceled several shows while on tour in 2019 due to a knee injury. She wound up wrapping up the tour early.
Earlier this year, she discussed the Celebration tour with Page Six. Madonna was reportedly rehearsing up to 12 hours a day in preparation. 
“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” she told the outlet, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/madonna-rushed-to-hospital-after-being-found-unresponsive">explaining</a> how her world tour would feature songs from all her prior albums beginning with her self-titled debut album that was first released in 1983.
