It is generally accepted that a live performance will not start at the time it is supposed to. Maybe the performers are just enjoying their time backstage, picking through a bowl of M&Ms to make sure the right color has been removed, or maybe they want to keep the audience on their toes to build up their expectations. A pair of fans named Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden decided to file a lawsuit against Madonna, Live Nation, and the New York venue after she took the stage at 10:30 for a show that was supposed to start two hours earlier.
Variety claims that Madonna has a long history of arriving and starting her concerts late, as evidenced by the late start times for her other shows at theBarclays Center last month. The duo wants to turn this into a class-action lawsuit because of the negligent misrepresentation about Madonna. Madonna told the crowd at one of the New York shows she made it back to performing that it was a miracle.
