“I’ve been dying to come perform for you for years and was heartbroken when I had to cancel years ago because I was hospitalized. Your understanding that I needed that time to heal meant the world to me. I am now coming back and I feel better than ever and am working so hard to make sure this show is one you will never forget. Get ready for MAYHEM on the beach”, she wrote.
Copacabana Beach has hosted massive pop spectacles over the years. Last May, Madonna performed a free show to cap off her ‘Celebration’ tour, and the concert drew in approximately 1.6 million attendees. (ANI)
