Madonna wowed fans last night (September 11th) as her Sticky & Sweet world tour called at London's Wembley Stadium.

The pop star was watched by over 90,000 people, including celebrity fans Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie.

The elaborate show, which was only the second of two UK dates, featured four sections: 'Pimp', 'Old School', 'Gypsy' and 'Rave'.

The singer, who will play a total of 27-dates, honoured her latest album, ‘Hard Candy’, during her two hour set.

But also played a number of tracks from her back catalogue, including ‘Vogue’ and ‘Music’.

  • My 1st Madge concert and I really loved it although it could have done with a bit more warming up as people around me didnt seem that interested and sat down most of the time.

  • 45mins late on stage, no support act. Far too many arty gimmicks and not enough of her great songs. Those that did come were towards the end when we had to leave early (as she was so late on) to catch a train! Not value for money.

  • I went to Madonna’s concert last night and said it was the worst concert I’’ve ever been to. Terrible acoustics, very poor singing and lip synching, no guitar playing skills and Madonna spent 60% of the time on stage and the rest of the time showing videos of herself. It was a shocker. She couldn’’t even get the place rocking. Even her die-hard fans up front only waved their arms on a few occasions. The whole middle section was stand static. Ver
