 Her career has spanned decades, survived fashions and struggled through a variety of public relations disasters. 
 
 But last night hundreds of die-hard Madonna fans abandoned their Queen of Pop by marching out of London's Hyde Park during her MDNA concert - some branding it the worst they had ever seen. 
 
 Even a sexy striptease on stage left fans cold- one simply stated: 'When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as myspace.'

 Shot herself in the foot? Fans branded Madonna's Hyde Park gig the worst concert ever and hundreds walked out 
 
 Many fans decided they did not want to stick around to watch the finale as of the poor sound quality, terrible weather and Madonna's failure to perform more of her classic hits. 
 
 One reviewer even said at one point Madonna screamed: 'We love you Poland', which if it was a joke fell flat on an already less than enthusiastic audience. 
 
 Others said a 10.30pm curfew imposed by Westminster Council meant Madonna was forced to start her performance early, in broad daylight, which meant the elaborate staging was lost to some of the audience.

 'Worst gig ever': Even Madonna's energetic performances with a variety of props didn't win round many 
 
 Earlier her management admitted it had failed to sell all the tickets for the concert - Madonna's first in England for four years. 
 
 It is believed some fans were put off by the £77 for the open air show. 
 
 
 
 A number of fans later complained on Twitter about the show. One user, Courtney, tweeted: 'Worst gig I have ever seen.' 
 
 Dawn Gracie wrote: 'Madonna left early,' adding later: 'I mourn those vintage Madonna days ... where potty mouth and violent imagery wasn't necessary. Just good vibes and great music!' 
 
 
 
 Not impressed: users took to Twitter to vent their frustrations over the MDNA performance 
 
 
 
 Claire Whitaker said : 'When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as myspace.' 
 
 Kylie Minogue, George Michael, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and U2 star Adam Clayton were among celebrities seen watching the show - which finished just moments before the 10.30pm curfew imposed by Westminster Council. 
 
 Her sexy strip took place while she sang Like A Virgin in front of the 50,000-strong crowd. 
 
 Madonna, 53, peeled off her clothing to reveal a sheer bra and black lacy thong, which she wore under fishnet tights. 
 
 
 
 Jumping through hoops: Some fans resisted the urge to slate Madonna though and tweeted that she was excellent 
 
 Poor sound quality: Madonna's show started in daylight and many complained they couldn't hear properly 
 
 Her toyboy boyfriend Brahim Zaibat, who was on stage as a backing dancer, then helped to fasten a corset around her. 
 
 She told the audience: 'I like to live dangerously.' 
 
 Madonna also introduced her 11-year-old son Rocco, who joined her as a dancer during the gig. 
 
 As well as performing hits like Papa Don't Preach, Hung Up and Vogue, she also showcased tracks from her latest album MDNA.

 She made a dig at pop rival Lady Gaga by incorporating her track Born This Way during a rendition of Express Yourself. 
 
 Not all fans were disappointed. TV and radio presenter Toby Anstis tweeted : 'I can definitely say, that was THE best live show I have ever seen! Mesmerising from start to finish! Amaaaazin!' 
 
 Madonna's press spokeswoman Barbara Charone, was unavailable for comment about the mass walk-out. ||||| Protesters from a Catholic youth group are calling on local officials in Warsaw, Poland to cancel an upcoming gig by Madonna as it falls on the city’s annual World War Two remembrance day. 
 
 The pop superstar is due to take her MDNA tour to Poland on 1 August, when residents traditionally observe a minute’s silence to commemorate the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi occupation, which cost an estimated 200,000 people their lives. 
 
 Religious activists from a group called the Youth Crusade are demanding Madonna’s show be axed out of respect and they have launched an online petition to rally support for their mission. 
 
 The internet post reads: “August 1 is a day of remembrance in Poland. We pay our respects to those who survived and those who perished in the uprising. We won’t allow the desecration of our hallowed symbols.” 
 
 Youth Crusade demonstrators have also blasted Madonna for “attacking the Catholic faith” and “offending Jesus Christ by burning crosses and wearing a crown of thorns” during her controversial stage shows, which they claim also promote homosexuality and pornography. 
 
 Madonna’s latest tour antics have done little to improve her reputation in the eyes of her more conservative critics – she flashed her breast while onstage in Turkey and France, exposed her bottom onstage in Rome, Italy and incensed French politician Marine Le Pen by screening a video which juxtaposed a swastika over her head. ||||| Madonna needs to listen to her inner Madge. 
 
 The Material Girl delivered an intentionally titillating performance in Turkey, flashing her breast during a concert. 
 
 It smacked of a pathetic attention grab by an artist with little current relevance — and who just four months ago blasted such antics. 
 
 Before her Super Bowl XLVI gig in February, Madonna guaranteed there would be no “wardrobe malfunction” during her performance, akin to Janet Jackson’s slip during halftime of the 2004 Super Bowl. 
 
 Madge ripped those kind of on-stage antics as cheap attention grabs. 
 
 “You don’t have to show your nipples to be interesting, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re cutting-edge if you do,” Madonna lectured back then. 
 
 Now fast-forward to Istanbul on Thursday night, as Madonna performed her 1995 hit “Human Nature” in the cradle of western civilization. 
 
 She did a striptease during the number, getting down to a black lace bra. 
 
 The dance culminated with Madonna pulling down one cup of her bra, and exposing her right breast for a little more than a second. 
 
 Madonna, 53, flashed a dramatic been-there, done-that snarl on her face immediately following the flash. 
 
 She then briefly turned her back on the crowd, showing off a huge tattoo with the big, bold words: “NO FEAR.” 
 
 The crowd went wild when Madonna let it loose. And there has been no major backlash to the peep show in the predominantly Muslim nation. 
 
 Madonna has been the queen of drama during her worldwide summer tour. 
 
 She got people talking last week by placing a swastika on a picture of conservative French politician Marine Le Pen during a show in Tel Aviv. 
 
 The French National Front leader ripped Madonna and called her a has-been. 
 
 “We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes,” Le Pen told The Daily Mail. 
 
 Madonna did manage to make some political news yesterday. 
 
 Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, an avid bass player, said he hasn’t been vetted for a spot on the GOP ticket. 
 
 “I have not been asked,” Huckabee told ABC’s “This Week.” 
 
 “I think there’s a greater likelihood that I’ll be asked by Madonna to go on tour as her bass player than I’ll be picked to be on the ticket.”

 MADONNA has scrapped plans for her first Australian tour in 20 years. 
 
 Her manager, Guy Oseary, reportedly told promoter Live Nation about Madonna's change of heart overnight. 
 
 Live Nation Australia confirmed the cancellation today, but had no further comment. 
 
 Madonna was set to announce summer dates for Melbourne and Sydney on July 12, but postponed the announcement until after the London Olympics. 
 
 Stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne had been booked for her new show, MDNA, in January and February. 
 
 Earlier this year, Oseary said: ''Madonna really needs to go to Australia. We are long overdue for a trip Down Under and apologise for that. It will happen.'' 
 
 Live Nation boss Arthur Fogel added: ''We'll get to these markets where she's never been, some exciting new places, and get back to Australia after too long a time.'' 
 
 But rival promoters claim the show was not viable in a crowded summer tour market. 
 
 Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers will tour in summer. 
 
 Nicki Minaj and Nickelback are also set to announce last-quarter dates. 
 
 Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg is being sought for comment. 
 
 The MDNA tour has had a controversial start in Europe. Madonna flashed her breast in Istanbul and displayed a Nazi swastika in Paris. 
 
 Punters had also complained about ticket prices, which ranged from $45 to $600. 
 
 But Madonna urged: ''Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it.'' 
 
 Madonna last performed in Australia, with her Girlie Show, in 1993. ||||| There is something breathtakingly arrogant about an artist taking to the stage late. 
 
 Madonna kept her fans waiting three hours for those who took the door time as gospel, two hours for those who figured there would be some kind of support, and 44 minutes for those who listened to the centre announcements saying she would take to the stage no earlier than 10.30pm. 
 
 In the end she rocked up at 11.14. 
 
 Really, she had made fans wait 23 years to see her, so when you have been waiting that long, what's another three hours.

 And for the die-hard fans who had waited that long, the three hours would have felt like nothing. 
 
 For the rest of the audience, it was tiresome, annoying and meant that a show that could have been done by 11pm finished well after 1am.

 When she did eventually grace the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with her presence, what she offered was pretty decent. 
 
 This was no trip down memory lane, no "hey, here's what you've missed these past two decades" this was the Rebel Heart tour and Rebel Heart tracks you would receive.

 So was the 22 year and three hour wait worth it? Simple answer .. No #Madonna #RebelHeartTour — Adam Davies (@adam_davies2) March 16, 2016 
 
 The album peaked at Number 1 in Australia but the singles hardly set fire to the charts, which was obvious in the audiences reception to them. 
 
 Conversely, when she wheeled out a few classics - Material Girl and Holiday being the two particular highlights - the audience were effusive in their appreciation. 
 
 Interestingly, it was on the more vintage numbers that the Queen of Pop sat more comfortably vocally. Music and La Isla Bonita both sounded fantastic and demonstrated why Madonna has enjoyed such an enduring career, while Illuminati and Holy Water sounded strained. 
 
 And while it is sacrilegious to suggest that she may not have performed the entire show live, there were definitely moments where the voice was coming through the speakers but the microphone was not at the mouth. 
 
 Production-wise, this is one of the slickest shows to roll through the entertainment centre in a while. 
 
 The show travels through a variety of themes - religion, a mechanic scene, bedrooms, carnivals ... there's a lot - and it all looks brilliant. 
 
 Creative director Jamie King, who has also done tours for Cirque du Soliel and Britney Spears, knows how to put on a good show. 
 
 The choreography is particularly excellent and some of the show's biggest highlights are when the dancers are doing their thing. 
 
 But at the end of the day the crowd is only there to see Madonna and even the tired and slightly annoyed Brisbane audience were pleased with what she delivered. 
 
 This was, by no means, the best show that we have seen, but it was Madonna, in person, being herself and that's all anyone could ask for.

– Madonna's week hasn't gotten much better since news broke that she's being sued for using a swastika image during her concerts: The Daily Mail reports that hundreds of fans walked out of her gig last night in London, with some deeming it the worst concert ever. The Hyde Park show—which did not sell out, despite it being Madge's first London gig in four years—suffered from bad sound quality, rain, a curfew, and the Material Girl's refusal to perform many of her classics. (Although she did perform "Like a Virgin," and stripped while doing so, prompting one concertgoer to tweet, "When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as MySpace.") Bizarrely, at one point Madonna yelled, "We love you, Poland." Maybe it was a joke, the Daily Mail hypothesizes. But Poland is exactly where Madge is seeing yet more trouble: Her planned show there faces a protest because it's scheduled on Aug. 1, Warsaw's World War II Remembrance Day. A Catholic youth group wants the show canceled, WENN reports. Meanwhile, Australia is feeling snubbed by Madonna, who recently ditched plans to do shows in the country for the first time since 1993, Australia's News Network reports. And, on a more personal front, Madge was possibly betrayed by good pal Demi Moore, who had dinner with Madonna's ex Alex Rodriguez Sunday night, according to the New York Daily News. Feeling brave?
