Madonna Promises An Aussie Visit
Madonna Promises An Aussie Visit
By Cameron Adams in London
Madonna has promised Australia will be part of her next world tour.Madonna's last two tours bypassed Australia.
Her last visit was 12 years ago on the Girlie tour in 1993.
"I had a really great time last time I was in Australia, but I know it was a long time ago," Madonna, 47, said yesterday.
"It's just Australia is so far away and the last two tours I had to cram everything into my children's summer vacations.
"But I really don't want to pass Australia by next time."
Madonna, who has sold four million records in Australia and 200 million worldwide, is planning a world tour for 2006, once again around schooling for daughter Lourdes, 9, and son Rocco, 4.
The tour will be "about discotheques and disco balls," she said, and comes after her return to dance albums with Confessions on a Dance Floor, recorded without gaps between tracks to simulate a DJ set.
The album will be released on November 14.
Tour dates are reportedly already locked in for Japan.
"If I go to Japan I'll go to Australia, I promise!" Madonna said.
Confessions on a Dance Floor follows 2003's American Life, the lowest-selling album of her 23-year career.
The record caused controversy at the time for its anti-Bush stance -- Madonna even pulled the anti-war American Life video.
"It's all about timing," she said. "My timing was a bit off but I stand by the message."
Confessions' first single, Hung Up, samples Abba's 1979 disco anthem Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight).
"I love Abba," Madonna said.
