Madonna Apologizes for Canceling Lisbon Concert: ‘I Must Listen to My Body’
Madonna unexpectedly called off Sunday night's (Jan. 19) concert in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Coliseu dos Recreios, the latest venue to host her Madame X Tour.
"Sorry I had to cancel tonight but I must listen to my body and rest!!" she wrote on Twitter the evening of the concert.
"That white Port. got me through the rest of the show!" she said of the previous night's show, which she shared a clip from on the tweet. "See you on Tuesday fingers crossed."
Earlier in the week, the pop star posted a rehearsal video on social media that showed her wearing knee braces. "How an injured Madame X warms up for a show……………..very carefully!" she said.
Madonna has had to cancel several shows on her Madame X run, including dates in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston and Miami earlier on the tour.
At press time, she is scheduled to return to the stage in Lisbon on Jan. 21, 22 and 23 before bringing the tour to its next stop, London.
