Madonna isn't happy that London Palladium dropped the curtain on her for going past curfew

Madonna had her London Palladium Madame X show cut short last night (5 February) for running over their curfew, and she's pretty angry about it.

Last night (5 February), Madonna ran over London Palladium's strict 11pm GMT curfew during her Madame X residency.

The lights and sound were stopped, and the curtain was closed while Madonna shouted, "fuck you motherfuckers!" and accused the venue of censorship.

Madonna posted a clip of last night's events, which resulted in her performing the final song, "I Rise", in front of the curtain.

She wrote on socials, "It was five 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 nine 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!!"
