This time she gave fans who'd purchased tickets an e-mail 45 minutes ahead of her show Sunday night, saying "We regret to inform you that Madonna is unable to perform this evening." She later added on Instagram "Sorry I had to cancel tonight, but I must listen to my body and rest!" She later said she hoped to continue her shows later this week, writing: "See you on Tuesday, fingers crossed."
After her dates in Lisbon, she's scheduled 15 dates in London beginning Jan 27.Not gonna happen: STING announced there won't be a big-time movie about his career. In an interview this weekend about his musical, "The Last Ship," he said "Absolutely not. I'm telling my story in an artistic way."
