MADONNA WREAKS HAVOC AT FREE FESTIVAL

Pop superstar MADONNA shocked the crowd at an English music festival on Saturday (10May08) by swearing live on stage.

The singer was performing at Radio 1's One Big Weekend event in Mote Park, Maidstone when she uttered the profanities during her six-song set, which was broadcast simultaneously on radio and television.

She told the crowd, "You guys are going to have to start f**king it up out there 'cos I need to feel some love. I'm going to do an old song. But not too old. F**k the present. Let's live in the past."

Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe was then forced to issue an apology to listeners and viewers.

But it wasn't the only controversy caused by Madonna - British newspaper the Mirror reports the star's 70-strong entourage ate food meant for other performers on the bill.

The publication also claims Madonna arrived late for rehearsals, and demanded to be flown to the venue, which was only 37 miles (59.5 kilometres) from her London home, by private helicopter.

Jon Fratelli, of Scottish band The Fratellis says, "Who does Madonna think she is? I'm not into all this - we're here to perform together. What happened to rock n' roll? Why is she even here?

"Everything has been changed around just for her and her ridiculous entourage."
