"I'm going on a theatre tour. Have you experienced the magic of a theatre? The intimacy of a theatre? I want to have an intimate experience with my fans."
Madonna has confirmed details of her intimate London shows next year, as part of the world tour in support of her long-awaited 14th album Madame X. The 60-year-old superstar announced the shows recently in a short sketch uploaded to YouTube, which featured herself and DJ-and-producer Diplo. In the video - entitled 'Madonna - A Madame X Tour Announcement' - she told the 'Electricity' hitmaker: "I'm going on a theatre tour. Have you experienced the magic of a theatre? The intimacy of a theatre? I want to have an intimate experience with my fans." Whilst Diplo thought the idea was "terrible", Madonna insisted the small shows would make for a great atmosphere. She added: "Look at us, like me and you, together and like ... talking. We're just gonna vibe with each other. We're gonna get close."
And then speaking directly to the camera, the 'Hung Up' hitmaker closed the clip by saying: "Madame X is going on tour. A theatre tour."
