Simon Cowell has persuaded Madonna to perform in the live final of the ITV talent show – but there are strings attached.
‘Someone like Madonna will want a lot of creative control over her appearance, but for Simon the ratings will be worth it.’
‘She has been told that her label will be expected to pay for any stage props and backing dancers she brings with her,’ the insider said.
The pop queen’s appearance on
December 13 will hark back to the show’s heyday when it could attract superstars of the calibre of Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John and Beyoncé Knowles.
Madonna’s appearance could also boost sales of her as-yet untitled 13th studio album, due for release just after the live final.
