MLVC had a spontaneous live show due to the recent news of Madonna's hospitalization; we wanted to have a moment to honor our Queen and send light and love into the universe as she begins to heal from her bacterial infection. The announcement hit social media today, via M's manager, Guy Oseary, and he informed us that the Celebration tour, which was meant to launch in mere weeks, is going to be postponed for the foreseeable future.

"Dick, that's an interesting name..."
