Madonna made a very public faux pas at a show on her ‘Celebration’ tour this week when she asked why a fan had remained seated, only to realise they were in a wheelchair.
At a stop at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 7) as part of her extensive career-retrospective tour, the Queen of Pop was preparing to introduce her next song when a particular fan caught her eye. “What are you doing sitting down over there?” she asked, while pointing at the fan. “What are you doing sitting down?” After taking the microphone and walking to the edge of the stage, the realisation dawned on her, and she quickly added, “Oh, okay.” “Politically incorrect, sorry about that.
I’m glad you’re here.” Watch the moment as caught by another fan below: And when Madonna complained that there was a person sitting down during her concert, and seconds later she realized it was a wheelchair user.
