Madonna threatened to “kill” a member of Bloc Party’s security at this year’s Live Earth, according to reports.
The singer is alleged to have made the comment after she was put in a headlock and escorted from the band’s dressing room at the Wembley Stadium event in July, reports dotmusic.
Speaking about the incident, Bloc Party’s frontman Kele Okereke said that the band’s Scottish tour manager was not aware of who Madonna was.
"When she came in, he alerted security and security dragged her out. In a headlock," explained the singer. "It was really surreal, and everyone stopped speaking."
He added: "And all we could hear is Madonna cursing and saying she's gonna kill these guys. She's really tough because of all that Pilates that she does, so she got out of the headlock quite easily."
Madonna and Bloc Party were two of many acts who performed at the Live Earth earlier this year – which had been organised by former American Vice President Al Gore to raise awareness about the problem of global warming.

- Ha ha that is a classic I think Bloc party may want to consider new representation, if their ”Scottish” doesn’t know who ’Mad-donna’ then what business does he have even managing a band, the numpty. The man is a fu*king laughting stock!
- just where does Madonna live again?
- Madonna is such a has-been and gnarled-looking old granny/corpse, they didn’t recognize who she was! Absolutely hysterical!

- anyone who in the music busness doesn’t know who madonna is must be living under a stone for the past 20 years. change your manager quick is my advice.
- If it’s really true, this is unbelievable!
I agree, this band needs to change the manager because if you are in music business you want to stay in good relations with powerful figures in this industry. My goodness - manhandling Madonna! This manager
is some sort of a caveman and oger,Shrek the Fourth, that is all I can say.
