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."

31. This broad is probably happy it happened. Now she becomes the focus.

And, I totally agree with a previous poster that she will not compensate the families unless she is sued and then she will settle out of court.

33. May those two men who tragically lost their lives RIP.

As far as Madonna is concerned. She said she doesn't like to see anybody suffering. Well, Madonna must have forgotten that she allowed the 3 Chihuahuas that she once cherished and used as accessories until she got sick of them to suffer after she dumped them on one of her friends.

Madonna is so phoney. All she cares about is herself.

34. I wonder if Madonna would be devastated if the two, who died, were AMERICANS?

35. She hates to be associated with suffering? Then why does she continue to marry and date?

I can't wait til the lawsuits come. That's what is really distressing to her -- parting with money.

36. So madonna says she doesn't want to be associated with anyone's suffering? Then let that bony old lady stop singing and prancing around on the stage like a 13 year old kid. That's caused too much suffering to humanity already.

37. First why is everyone clapping,etc. Second if she is so upset why is she doing a concert and since she is doing a concert why not donate the money off the concert to the families of the two men, plus weren't there more injured? Third WOULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THE NAME MADGE COMES FROM, NEVER BEEN A MADONNA FAN SO WHAT AM I MISSING?????????????????????? At least she had those ugly arms covered!!

38. Of COURSE the show must go on! We can't stop living because bad things happen. I believe she was sincere too...nobody wants to have people lose their lives working for them!

I agree with all the comments regarding the crowd. A little respect wouldn't hurt.

39. Um, when the story was first reported yesterday, it included this line "the show tonight has been canceled".
So there wasn't a show at the accident scene anyway, and she didn't cancel the one she actually did have, so lame.
Personally I don't think she was upset at all because if anything, this accident has given her MORE coverage and we all know that's what she is about.

40. First of all, saying a prayer for the men is too late as they are gone. If they hadn't already accepted Christ as their personal saviours, they are in Hell now. Prayers for their families on earth is all that we can do now.

Secondly, don't judge Madonna as that will be done by our Lord.

44. Why does everyone think Madonna should give these families money? Sure she has a lot of it, but this is in now way her fault. She didn't design the set and she wasn't in charge of safety during the set up in France. The people who should be sued are whoever was in charge of designing/constructing the thing that collapsed. Just because Madonna was going to show up there in the future does not mean we can blame her. I'm sure she feels terrible either way.

45. #25. The majority of these comments reflects what is wrong with today's society. It still amazes me how negative and hurtful people can be when they can hide behind a computer and blog away. It is so easy to judge and criticize "anonymously". The concert she was playing at was in Italy. Most likely the audience had no idea what happened and probably couldn't even hear here.
