Madonna Apologizes For Canceled Tour Dates

08/28/2012
. (popmusiclife) Despite assurances from Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, that the pop icon would play Australia as part of her MDNA World Tour, it was announced last month that the singer would skip the country for the second tour in a row.

The anticipated MDNA shows would have marked Madonna's first Aussie dates in 20 years. "Madonna's tour will end in South America in December as planned. That's all we can say," a spokesperson said at the time.

Now, Madonna has stepped up to offer a personal apology to her Australian fans by way of a recorded youtube message. "I am really and truly sorry to have disappointed you," began Madonna. "That's something that I don't feel very good about. I was going to write a letter to everybody but I thought it would be better if I just filmed myself and you could hear it from me personally."

"I can promise you in my heart of hearts that it was my intention to come again but, like the last time, my children are my first priority," she continued. Read more and watch the video here.
