Video footage from the concert shared by fans online, shows launching into an expletive-laden rant after arriving on stage an hour late to a chorus of boos.
The 57-year-old singer was in Manchester for the latest stop
on her Rebel Heart tour, but fans were left unimpressed as they were kept
waiting for the star.
Doors at the 22,000 seat venue opened at 6:30pm with Madonna
expected to start her show at 9pm, but fans were soon tweeting about their long
wait after they were reportedly told the concert wouldn't end until 11:30pm.
Madonna was keen to defend her lateness though when she did
eventually make it to the stage, launching an angry rant after being booed.
'I don't like to be late by the way, alright? And all you
b*****s who keep complaining about it can shut the f**k up,' she shouted.
'I'm not back there eating chocolate, filing my nails and getting
my extensions done alright?' she added before explaining that the delay was due
to a malfunction with video for the gig.
'The video crashed. We had no video and we had to wait until
we could reboot. No selfish diva b**** reason. If you diva b****es want to keep
complaining about it don't come to my show,' she said.
some gig-goers reportedly walked out of the gig before
Madonna even took to the stage, with many angry about the late finish and
worried being able to get home from the venue.
'Over 50mins late at Manchester Arena and no announcements.
Not acceptable. People have jobs to go to @Madonna,' one fan tweeted while
another added '#Madonna...seriously late...sort it or retire.' According to
those at the gig, the show ended with no encore.
It's not the first time the superstar has turned on her fans
during a gig. Back in 2012 she was performing a sound check at an outdoor arena
in Santiago in Chile when she spotted some people smoking.
In a video posted on YouTube Madonna told the audience: 'No fume. If you're going to smoke cigarettes I'm not doing the show. You don't care about me? I don't care about you. All right? Are we going to play that game?
'I'm not kidding. I can't sing if you smoke. Entiendes?
There are people smoking right now. No smoking!'
