Madonna Faces Problems Once Again

Madonna, the big music and entertainment diva is continuing with the "Confessions" world tour and her next destination is Moscow, Russia. However, as there were problems in Rome and Germany before, here as well, not everything is going as it was planned. Safety fears may force Madonna to change the location of the approaching Moscow concert, according to reports.

The music and entertainment star is scheduled to make her first appearance in the Russian capital on 11 September as part of her world tour. But the local authorities are considering moving the show from near Lomonosov University to the city`s Tushino airfield. There are fears that students could fall out of windows in their attempts to watch the concert, said Mr. Nikolai Koulikov, head of Moscow`s security department. He told the Agence France Presse news agency that "the question of where the Madonna concert will eventually take place has still not been resolved".

The Luzhniki stadium, which is Russia`s biggest sports stadium, unfortunately will be unavailable as it is hosting a football match. However, Mr Koulikov said there were no intentions to cancel the concert despite a bomb attack on a Moscow market on Monday that claimed 10 lives. "Life must go on despite these explosions," he said. Nothing as it seems is going to stop Madonna, so Russia`s entertainment fans can relax and look forward to the concert.
