World star, dream city, legendary beach.
Madonna delighted her fans in Rio de Janeiro tonight with a monumental and free concert on Copacabana Beach.
Dressed in all black, the 'Queen of Pop' sent the crowd wild with happiness when she appeared on stage. The first song he performed was "Nothing Really Matters".
About 1.5 million people attended the biggest concert in the star's career. Audiences stood on the sand but also in the sea aboard dozens of boats to enjoy the breathtaking view.
With this historic show, the 65-year-old American pop star closes "The Celebration Tour" in style - a tour of the glory of her 40-year career, creativity, glamor and scandal.
On the beautiful day with summer temperatures, fans in swimsuits flocked to get as close as possible to the giant stage of over 800 square meters.
Several DJs including Diplo warmed up the crowd to bring joy to the "biggest dance floor in the world".
Then it was time for the Queen to take the stage. Madonna walked down the fashion catwalk set up for the occasion, which took her directly to the audience.
After 80 concerts in Europe, North America and Mexico, the show in Rio served as a grand finale.
Copacabana beach has been filled with festive cheer in recent days, reminiscent of the Rio Carnival that ended three months ago. /BGNES
