Madonna ‘Sings For Peace’ In Paris Square
MADONNA gave an impromptu performance in Paris last night as she paid tribute to victims of the terror attacks last month.
The singer sang her hits Like A Prayer and Ghosttown with her son David by her side as crowds gathered in the Place de la Republique.
The 57-year-old tweeted that she would be there after finishing a concert in the French capital for her Rebel Heart tour.
“Im singing some songs in place de la republique. Meet me there now #Paris. #rightnow #aftershow #rebelheartour,” she posted.
Videos online feature the star accompanied by guitarist Monte Pittman, who is currently on tour with the artist.
The crowd joined in with the impromptu show, but the multi award-winner appeared to have forgotten some of the lyrics to John Lennon classic Imagine.
Madonna told those assembled: “Everybody knows why we’re here … we just want to sing a few songs about peace, just to spread love and joy, and to pay our honour and respect to the people who died almost four weeks ago.”
She added: “And to spread light … we all need it.”
She also tweeted: “Singing For Peace at Place de La Republique. Proud Mama.”
After the Paris attacks, which left 130 people dead, Madonna took a moment to reflect when her Rebel Heart tour reached Stockholm.
“I need to take this moment to acknowledge the tragedy, the tragic killings, assassinations, and the senseless endings of precious life that occurred last night in Paris,” she said on 14 November. –news.sky.com
