Second Worker Dies -- Madonna Breaks Down

Madonna took a moment during her concert in Italy last night to pay tribute to the two men who died constructing her stage in France earlier in the day.



Madonna cried as she called the loss "tragic" and said she was "devastated to be in any way associated with anyone suffering."

16. Why the hell are they cheering and clapping?? Because she's upset and showing emotion. Hello! Last time I checked she was a human being with feelings. I just don't get the reaction of the crowd. They should be quiet and composed in respect for those who lost their lives. Let her finish then applaud.

17. It just seems incredibly inappropriate to clap and cheer when someone is talking about an innocent person's death...Am I the only one who's a little disturbed by that?

18. LOL @ Jim! And what a tragedy for those poor families who have lost loved ones. I can't imagine that "Madge" (God I never could stand her mediocre singing and lousy acting) wouldn't help out these families. Let's hope she does.

20. I watched a portion of this video. I had to stop it half way through and make a comment. What happened during the stage construction in France is absolutely tragic. While trying to pay tribute at her concert in Italy to the workers that died due to the stage collapse in France, the people in the audience were clapping and chanting Madonna's name. She was trying to show the workers who lost their lives respect. The audience members seemed to not care. Truly, it was a poor display by the audience. They should feel bad for their behavior.

23. She made herself crystal clear when she said she "was devastated to be in any way associated with anyone suffering" - SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT THE BAD PRESS!!!!!!!! If she truly cared about anyone but herself, she would a) pay for both funerals, b) offer a major compensation to each family, and c) take some time off from the tour (that is class - something she knows nothing about). Are we surprised at this shallow, washed up, skank? The only way she makes headlines is by outlandish costumes and raunchy music. She needs to go away and be a mother to her brood (again, something she knows nothing about).

24. Why are people clapping when she says two people were killed when a piece of the stage fell down?
