An Emotional Madonna Breaks Down In Tears

Filed under: Madonna

wenn2492073__opt1.jpg

During her concert in Udine, Italy, last night, Madonna took a moment to address the accident in Marseille on Thursday, which has so far claimed 2 lives, saying:

"Before I continue the show I want to take a moment to acknowledge and pay tribute to two people who lost their lives today. I don't know if you've heard. Two men building my show in Marseille where we're going next - the crane fell and we don't know why. (Madonna names them, Brit Charles Prow, 32, and Frenchman Charles Criscenzo, 53). I hate to be associated with suffering. I want to pay tribute to their families. Let's take a moment to appreciate our family, loved ones, friends around us."

The Queen of Pop then struggled to make it through You Must Love Me number.

She paused again before Ray of Light to say, "Let's give it up for the two Charlies."

  48. 48

    Re: Madonna the queen – Hmmmm, why is everyone here a loser except for you, cabeça da salsicha?



  49. 49

    It's very difficult to take anything she says seriously, she has such a long history of duplicity and hypocricy, and she's always been all about her (the ultimate narcisicist) so it's really hard to say if she meant what she said or if she's just saying what she thinks it's expected of her!!! the bit about giving it up for the Charlies was beyond insensitive though!



  50. 50

    That's so sad. Two people? Poor girl…She has always hated to be associated with suffering. i hope all their families are getting through…I'm sure no one expected this. That stage is gigantic!



  51. 51

    Um…if youre really concerned then maybe you shouldn't be on tour right now? How about canceling or postponing some shows and not bouncing around on stage after 2 people were killed on your job site



  52. 52

    When is Madonna going to go away???



  53. 53

    her and britney shop at the same clothes 4 skanks store apparently.



  54. 54

    Tooo bad the lights didn't fall on this scanks head, Please no more of this retreaded scank



  55. 55

    She probably never even gave those two the time of day and now she acts all sad. Sure.



  56. 56

    i love you my queen!!!!!! she must feel terrible. RIP to both men.



  57. 57

    Re: Madonna the queen – I HAVE TO SAY, ID STILL LOVE TO SEE HER IN CONCERT…SHE DOES HAVE AN UNDENIABLE TALENT AND STAGE PRESENSE….SHE'S AN ICON AND I DOUBT THAT SHE WILL EVER LOSE THAT….Re: SheriMoonFireFly – I AGREE, SHE COULD USE SOME NEW OUTFITS, SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE IS USING PRETTY MUCH THE SAME STYLE FROM HER LAST FEW TOURS….



  58. 58

    Re: Madonna the queen – You don't even know how to speak English, moron. Go back to your Third World hovel.



  59. 59

    she's such a crappy actress. she doesn't give a fuck. as long as all eyes are on her and the money is rolling in everything's fabulous.



  60. 60

    poor madonna :( it wasn't her fault.



  61. 61

    Re: Sexsai – LOSER ARE U NOT REASING THE NEWS??SHE CANCELEED THE SHOW IN MARSEILLE LOSER.SHE IS THERE TO TALK TO THEIR FAMILIES BUT SHE IS NOT PERFORMING TOMORROW LOSER



  62. 62

    Re: jesyrene – 3TH WORLD???U LIVE ON A 3RD WORLD LOSER.NOT ME.I LIVE IN EUROPE.FASHION,SMART PEOPLE,CULTURE.USA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.USA IS DUMB.BAD TASTE AND POOR ,MUSIC



  64. 64

    IF U CARE THEN RETIRE U OLD BEEEYATCH!!!! STOP UR CONCERTS THEN THERE WILL BE NO ACCIDENTS. TALK ABOUT CHICKEN OR THE EGG.



  65. 65

    "the two Charlies"?
    Only Grammadonna would say something so tactless and think it was clever/proper.



  66. 66

    "I hate to be associated with suffering."
    Then why the heck does she continue to make music?



  67. 67

    Re: Madonna the queen
    Your hypocrisy puzzles me: You say the USA has bad music and yet you rave about Madonna and her music. You realize she's from the USA, don't you?



  68. 68

    as usual there r some fuckin' retards talking shit about Madonna… Get a life people!

    Long live the queen of pop!



  69. 69

    what she should have said is that Lourdes is teaching little Mercy to suck David Banda's little blafck wee wee



  70. 70

    I think people are plain stupid most times. Madonna is on a major world tour. How the fu*k is she going to be sued? Her tour is insured beyond belief. The insurance company will settle with the families and Madonna won't have anything to do with that. And the tears fake or not who are we to judge? People have to stop hatin' from the sidelines and get on their grind.



  71. 71

    Too late, Madonna: Your music and movies have inflicted endless amounts of suffering on the world throughout the years…

    "Let's give it up for the two Charlies"? How flippant!



  72. 72

    One of those guys was an amazing friend of ours, he was only 23 and no matter what you say, Madonna making that speech kinda helped me and my friends realize that this has happened, and come to terms with it. I think that it says something that she has taken the time to remember their names. Our Charles loved his job, got to see the world and ride his bmx in his spare time ahha. We will love him forever and trust me he would find it hilarious that he death is so insane and all over the news! xx

    The suffering line was epic.

    This chick is trying so hard to be Angelina.



  74. 74

    This stupid bitch: part of being human is the fact that we have to suffer. Let's not forget: this sub-human is a narcissist…another word for socialpathic…no genuine feelings…an empty shell.

    Re: Sadie-Say – #71 Splendid point



  76. 76

    Re: Long Dong Connery – LMAO good one!



  77. 77

    Re: Madonna the queen – Learn English, fool! Read what you've written and cringe! Third-Worlder!



  78. 78

    This made me cry.



  79. 79

    Saying she is "associated with suffering" is not a good thing to say. She is likely going to get sued to begin with, but admitting fault like that on record…..yikes…..



  80. 80

    Well shit. Freddie is here. My dreams of him being under the crashing crane weren't answered afterall.



  81. 81

    She broke down in tears because she had to cancel a stop on the tour which took money out of her pockets.



  82. 82

    Re: Madonna the queen – okay a stalker that has nothing better to than defend Hodonna 24/7 and I'm the looser? I think not. Why don't you go back to school and learn some grammar. You're illiterate.



  83. 83

    Re: Madonna the queen – GREAT! YOU FINALLY ADMIT THAT HODONNA IS DESPERATE! Ha ha.



  84. 84

    Re: Brainbug – soooo true!



  85. 85

    I hope the victims families sue the shit out of this cold hearted trannie looking bitch!!!!!!! Retire already I'm tired of seeing your old dried up grandma crotch!!!!!!!!



  86. 86

    why cant she act this good in her movies?



  87. 87

    Well hey, now she can adopt their kids!



  88. 88

    That was so nice of her. I feel bad for the family that man left behind.



  89. 89

    How is the most succesful female artist in the history of music irrelevant? This current tour is the most succesful in history.



  90. 90

    sad …



  91. 91

    It is very sad and tragic that these two men have died. However, it has nothing directly to do with Madonna - they worked for a contractor who is building her sets and stage for the tour. Of course she feels bad - she is a human being and this obviously affects her. That said, what is she supposed to do? Cancel the tour and disappoint everyone who bought tickets to all of the shows? She cancelled the Marseilles show out of respect, which was the right thing to do, but the tour needs to continue. As for her 'two Charlies' comment, why was that so bad? It was said after her original statement about the two men earlier in the show - she was just paying homage again. If this were a different performer, I'm sure that the comments would be much different.



  92. 92

    Re: stellagranos

    MADONNA HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THAT GREEDY HAG! IT IS HER TOUR SHE HIRES AND IS RESPONSIBLE!!

    DISGUSTING BITCH!! JUST KEEPS MAKING MONEY AFTER PEOPLE ARE DEAD!

    DEAD! MADONNA IS DISGUSTING!



  93. 93

    Re: U_SUCK_DONKEY_DICKS

    DAMN STRAIGHT THAT BITCH IS GOING TO GET SUED!



  94. 94

    "I hate to be associated with suffering"???? 'Cause even the death of others is about me. Honestly! Suffering- it's like, so icky, you know.



  95. 95

    Just more bad acting from this has been



  96. 96

    She's so emotionally vacant. Out of touch totally. SUFFERING?? WTF?



  97. 97

    What horrible and vile people here leaving such awful comments these were people that died, This was an accident!

    I have seen women In power get shot down for their power so shes worth about 500 million so what! She fucken earned it!

  99. 99

    Re: THE ONLY SOURCE – #98. Glad I can push your buttons. And, for anyone to stick up for this bogus-feeling whore, is surely an adulator.



  100. 100

    Re: PUSSiecat – #86 That's just it: Vulgar vag's life as she has put out there for everybody to see is nothing but an act and a big time whore. What a disgrace of a sub-human! And, this explains why she sucks on the big screen. Completely devoid of feelings.
