Well this was not hugely surprising, but still disappointing. After stating in three interview plus a TV interview the tour for Hard Candy would come to Australia, Madonna has flicked a leotard in the eye of all Aussie fans by pulling the Sticky & Sweet Tour 08/09(http://www.ultrastar.com/email/iconmadonna/080507/index.htm) Australian leg off the table once again. Before you fans go spaz and start burning fingerless gloves and canceling yoga memberships, further dates are yet to be announced for South America and for her last tour, Confessions, Japan was added last minute to the gigs. It still does not look good. Pity, as it will be early summer and a great chance to use some huge outdoor venues here in Oz. But you can't tell Madonna what to do, especially if she is trying to save the world in 4 minutes but only has 3 minutes to spare. Someone has to miss out.
But after saying she would come, it is really kinda crap, makes you think it was just a PR ploy to send Hard Candy number 1. It worked but I can a sense an Australian backlash in the discoball. Having been a person who has seen her live, it is a real disappointment for those who will miss out again, the tickets may seem $$ but it is worth every cent and she gives 400% to the experience. Keep fingers crossed, but don't hold your breath. Like the other Madonna, we have to say our prayers if you want to see her. To be continued....
UPDATE: She is not coming, get burning kids.
