Madonna World Tour 2 days delay

Madonna's upcoming MDNA tour is to be delayed by two days, according to a statement on her website.

The world tour was due to kick off on 29 May at the Ramat Gan Stadium in Tel Aviv but has been pushed back to 31 May because of "production delays."

Promoter Live Nation has assured fans that tickets for the 29 May gig will be accepted for the delayed 31 May show.

Madge announced the dates for the 76-date tour earlier this year and tickets for the New York, LA, Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Istanbul shows sold out in minutes.

The Girl Gone Wild singer's latest LP debuted at No 1 in the Official UK Album Chart but has since dropped to No 13.

A total of 1.4 million tickets have so far been sold for the MDNA tour and the queen of pop's live show will hit the UK for three dates, starting at London's Hyde Park on 17 July.
