Madonna stuns fans with New York pop-up concert

Madonna surprises fans in Times Square with an impromptu performance promoting her upcoming album ‘Confessions II’

To the delight of hundreds of lucky fans, the Material Girl… suddenly materialized in New York’s Times Square for a pop-up concert.

Madonna, 67, strutted her stuff in a pink corset, blue bra, thigh-highs, and blue shades Thursday night to promote her upcoming album “Confessions II” and kick off Pride Month.

Fans had short notice to show up in the landmark Manhattan plaza to catch the impromptu 15-minute set sponsored by gay dating site Grindr, which also livestreamed the show.

Performing from a stage set inside one of Times Square’s huge LED displays, Madonna sang six tracks, including “Hung Up,” “Get Together,” and “I Love New York,” from her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.

She also sang “I Feel So Free,” “Bring Your Love,” and “Love Sensation” from her 15th studio album, which is set to drop on July 3.

Madonna, along with Shakira and K-pop megastar BTS, will headline a Super Bowl-style halftime show at the World Cup final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. — Agence France Presse
