Madonna, 65, flexes her muscles in skimpy negligee as she returns to stage after getting SUED by fans accusing her of 'false advertising' for performing 'two hours late'
Madonna donned a dodgy wig and flexed her muscles while wearing a skimpy red négligée during her sold-out Madison Square Garden concert in Manhattan on Monday - five days after two fans sued her for 'false advertising.'
The 65-year-old Queen of Pop wore the scantily-clad costume to sing happy birthday to her daughter Chifundo 'Mercy' James Kambewa Ciccone, who turned 18 on Monday.
While on tour, Michigan-born Madge has Mercy accompany her on piano for her 1992 track Bad Girl and her 18-year-old son David Banda Mwale Ciccone accompanies her on guitar for her 2003 track Mother and Father.
Last Wednesday, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed a federal civil lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York seeking unspecified damages from the seven-time Grammy winner for going on 'two hours late' during her December 13 concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
'Sound check issues' caused Madonna to go on at 10:45pm rather than her usual call time between 9pm-10pm that particular evening - according to People.

And since doors to the venue opened at 7:30pm and the self-made superstar's opening DJ Honey Dijon began her set at 8:30pm, concertgoers mistakenly believed she was between two-three hours late.
It's worth noting that Madonna is lucky to be alive following her June 24 hospitalization for 'a serious bacterial infection' during which she was in a 48-hour medically induced coma.
The two-time Golden Globe winner - who gets 44.6M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring her $77.4M-grossing, 79-date Celebration Tour back to Madison Square Garden for a second show this Tuesday.
Madonna reportedly teamed up with creative director Lewis James and musical director Stuart Price to dream up her most spectacular stage presentation for her 12th concert tour honoring her four-decade career.
Rather than a band or singer, the Vulgar singer enlisted RuPaul's Drag Race #8 champ Bob the Drag Queen to serve opening act duties for her.
Here's hoping things go better this time as Madonna's knee and hip injuries forced her to cancel 14 shows of her prior 75-date The Madame X Tour back in 2019-2020.
As the coronavirus pandemic put the final nail in her tour's coffin, the Material Girl underwent knee surgery in April 2020 followed by hip surgery in November 2020 as well as 'regenerative treatment for my missing cartilage.'
Madonna plans to eventually embark on her self-directed Universal Pictures biopic - titled Little Sparrow - starring three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner.
The Evita alum co-wrote the script with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who was later replaced by Independent Spirit Award-winning screenwriter Erin Wilson (The Girl on the Train, Secretary).
