Madonna accompanied the information with a video "Truth Or Dare" - dare or truth - which echoes her sulphurous documentary "In Bed With Madonna" from 1991. This time, the revamped star is having fun at the table with other artists she is close to, including Diplo, Judd Apatow, Jack Black, rapper Lil Wayne, comedian and comedian Amy Schumer, who challenged her to go on a world tour in which she would sing all her hits for forty years.
Challenge obviously accepted by the star who toasts with his friends and announces four decades of music "with me".
Among the guests, Bob The Drag Queen will participate in the tour.
No unreleased album is announced
Three years after her exceptional theater tour, "Madame X", which she had to cut short first for recurring knee problems and then because of the arrival of Covid 19 in Paris, Madonna is therefore back in business at 64. with a retrospective of his career in large indoor halls, but not in stadiums.
On the discography side, she is back at Warner, her first record company.
She released the live from her last tour and a compilation of her 50 "number one" songs there last year, including the very first "Holiday" released in 1983.
Madonna also shared studio photos with her son David and musician-producer Mike Dean.
“I'm looking for interesting and fun ways to bring out my albums and introduce my music to a new generation.
I am focused on that and on the screenplay for my film which I have been writing for several years, ”she explained in July 2022 to the American magazine Variety.
But for the moment, no unreleased album is announced.
The previous one, "Madame X", was released in June 2019 and was recorded largely in Lisbon, where she was residing at the time with her children.
She has since returned to live in New York.
