Madonna's bluff called in front of 15,000 fans at Birmingham Barclaycard Arena

'We won’t be getting married'

Madonna’s performances are characterised just as much by the on-stage antics as they are the songs being performed.

On her Rebel Heart tour, the singer has continuously dressed in a wedding veil, brought a male fan on stage and sung "Material Girl" to them, all the while she berates them for not having an engagement ring.

However, on a Wednesday night show in Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena, one fan was ready for the sequence.

After being brought on stage by the 57-year-old, he presented her with an engagement, taking the singer back slightly but much to the audience's joy. Madonna quickly checked if the ring was 24-carat-gold before slipping it on.

Unfortunately for the fan, the pop songstress didn’t commit to the act, telling him (via BBC): “We won’t be getting married. But I’ve shouted your name out on stage and now you’re famous and I have a new ring. So it’s win-win.”

Madonna angered fans earlier on this tour by arriving late on stage in Manchester and then proceeding to call the audience “diva b***es”.
