Grammy award winning singer and songwriter Madonna is to visit Sri Lanka next month for a peace concert.
She is also likely to visit the Wanni for what has been billed as a first of its kind meeting between the top international singer and the LTTE, organizers said.
The ‘Concert for Peace’ scheduled for May 17 in Colombo will also see several local artistes take the stage with the organizers assuring an unforgettable experience complete with a 120 piece backup band, laser lights and a fireworks display.Tickets are scheduled to go on sale from mid April and the Daily Mirror is the official print media sponsor for the gig. As part of the goodwill visit Madonna is due to visit Killinochchi and meet the LTTE leadership with a message of hope for peace in the near future.
“We have been given clearance to visit the Wanni with Madonna on humanitarian grounds,” the organizers said adding that more details of the concert and ticket prices would be made public soon.
Madonna’s latest single “4 Minutes” featuring Justin Timberlake just recently entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 68, which the magazine reports is the 53rd time in her career she’s appeared on that particular tally.

This would be a very nice idea of crazy Madonna.
But - dear Carole Ann - it might be that the date ….
