Madonna is supported by a friend as she leaves London Palladium clutching onto a cane... after accusing the venue of 'censoring' her Madame X show
Madonna was supported by a friend as she made her latest exit from the London Palladium on Wednesday night.
The pop icon, 61, held onto a cane as she linked arms with a pal, who guided her towards a waiting car.
Madonna is performing 12 shows in the English capital before her Madame X world tour concludes with a further 12 in Paris.

The star looked weary as she prepared for the journey back to her hotel after her ninth gig at the Palladium, a venue traditionally used for variety performances and West End musicals.
Sporting a distinctive Versace coat over fishnet tights, Madonna caught the eye while making the short walk from the venue's stage door holding onto the arm of her friend.
She added to her look with a pair of embellished, fingerless gloves, while rich layers of make-up drew attention to her instantly recognisable features.

Madonna previously accused the Palladium of trying to 'censor' her by pulling the curtain down after she ran over curfew.
The following night, The Mirror reports that Madonna hit out at the theatre once again and said on stage: 'You know there's an iron curtain waiting for me. Some handcuffs? I hope someone will arrest me.'
She allegedly told the crowd at the end of her show, she doesn't have time to 'play around' and that the theatre's curfew has put her on a 'stopwatch'.

'I'm here to tell stories, and if you punish me, then I don't want to tell stories,' Madonna reportedly vented. 'So have a word with Westminster council.'
Hours earlier on Thursday, Madonna shared a video of the moment the curtain came down on Wednesday night at 11pm, which she then pushed through to continue performing with her backing dancers.
In a video she can be heard screaming: 'F*** you, motherf****er', as the curtain descends, before returning to the stage to perform, I Rise.
She captioned the clip: 'Artists Are Here to Disturb the Peace................
'It was 5 minutes past our 11:00 curfew--we had one more song to do and The Palladium decided to censor us by pulling down the metal fire curtain that weighs 9 tons.
'Fortunately they stopped it half way and no one was hurt.............. Many Thanks to the entire Audience who did not move and never left us. Power to The People!!'
