0:50Now PlayingThere was hit after hit — pretty much one for every year in four decades of music — during Madonna’s Celebration Tour that kicked off at the O2 in London Saturday. NY Post Senior Entertainment writer Chuck Arnold shares this story.
But the most special moments revealed the humanity behind the 65-year-old woman that sometimes has been overshadowed in 40 years living not only as the Queen of Pop but one of the most famous people on the planet.
There was when she sang an a capella “Little Star” — from her 1997 classic “Ray of Light” — instead of “Happy Birthday” for oldest daughter Lourdes, who turned 27 on the same day her mother launched her 40th-anniversary tour.
And then she talked about the Israel-Hamas war in a way that made you feel as if she was just like all mothers out there, frightened for their children.
“It breaks my heart to see children suffering, teenagers suffering, elderly people suffering. All of it is heartbreaking,” she said. “But even though our hearts are broken, our spirits cannot be broken … We can unite in a dark and evil way, or we can unite from a place of light and love. And if we all have that in our collective consciousness, we can change the world and we can bring peace — not only to the Middle East, but all over the world.”
