The star was almost 3 hours late to the Brisbane show, causing many fans to miss the last train.
"It’s you people that get here early that’s the problem," Madge reportedly told the crowd.
"Stay home, do your hair and makeup, have a tequila.Roll yourself a fat one … no, I don’t believe in that ****. Just come late and I won’t have to come early. We’ve got three more shows and we want to fix the problem," she continued.
However, the Australian Associated Press reports that when she finally did appear, the crowd were “eating from the palm of her hand from the moment she appeared on stage in a metal cage.”
There were reports of people receiving refunds, and as a result, fans shared pictures of a half empty arena from last night’s show (March 17).
rude. i know she was just joking, but it's not that funny when you already booked a train, took a day or 2 off from work just to be there on time etc...
That's incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful coming from someone who's been in the industry for YEARS.
It seems like she's just taking her fans for granted
If she's habitually late, it's because she chooses to be. I don't understand why she would fly around the world and then decide to show up hours late to her own concert.
