Madonna delays Rebel Heart world tour

Madonna has delayed the first five shows on her Rebel Heart Tour until 2016 to make sure the performances are perfect.

In a statement, the singer said, “As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect. Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realized. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can’t wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there.”
