Madonna is a busy girl these days!
She will introduce Masha and Nadya, two
members of Russia’s Pussy Riot art collective, at Amnesty International’s
Bringing Human Rights Home concert taking place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn
on Wednesday February 5, it was announced today by Amnesty International.
Madonna commented…
I am honored to introduce my fellow freedom
fighters Masha and Nadya from Pussy Riot. I have admired their courage and have
long supported their commitment and the sacrifices they have made in the name
of freedom of expression and human rights.
Tickets are on sale from Ticketmaster.
Other confirmed acts include Imagine Dragons, The Flaming Lips, Ms. Lauryn
Hill, Tegan and Sara, The Fray, Cold War Kids, Colbie Caillat and Cake. Masha
and Nadya were imprisoned for their participation in the Pussy Riot art collective.
Hundreds of thousands of online actions by Amnesty International supporters
helped bring about their freedom.
The announcement follows Madonna's
performance at the Grammys on Sunday and her guest appearance with Miley Cyrus
at a MTV Unplugged recording two days later (which will air tonight).

...and all that with a twisted ankle! Jx
I think injuries just give her more fuel - remember the "Hung Up" video, while she was still recovering after falling from that horse? You could she she was in pain during the scenes in the dance studio but that didn't stop my girl...
