Madonna in tears sings "Like a prayer" to remember the victims of the Parisian attacks
Twitter, Facebook and Instagram were immediately filled with messages of condolence, the attacks in Paris last Friday 13 November did not leave anyone indifferent and even Madonna, the queen of pop, wanted to remember the victims.
He did it, in tears, during the Swedish date of his "Rebel Heart Tour" scheduled for Saturday, November 14th.
I've been thinking about it all day and it's not easy to perform tonight, I'm shocked: why am I here dancing and having fun while others are mourning the loss of those they loved?
The problem is that this is exactly what they want, they want us in silence, they want to silence us but we won't let them. We will never let them.
Being united makes us strong and I firmly believe that among all this chaos, all this senseless violence, not only in Paris but around the world, there is still something good and we are here to prove it.
I was about to cancel the show when I said to myself ... Why give it to him?
All the places where the attacks took place were places where people go to have fun: a restaurant, a concert, a football match ...
We usually think that these freedoms are due to us but they are not, but it is the freedom that we deserve. We work hard and deserve to have fun and there must be no one in the world who can stop us from doing what we love.
After this touching speech, he invited those present to have a minute of silence and then be moved by the notes of Like a Prayer, one of his greatest hits.
