Madonna’s surprise New Year’s Eve performance at Stonewall Inn, New York

Celebrity singer Madonna started the new year by giving a surprise New Year’s Eve performance at the Stonewall Inn in New York.

It is the famous bar in New York’s Greenwich Village where the riots that kicked off the modern LGBTQ movement took place in 1969.

Last month, the bar had announced that Madonna had been named an ambassador for the 50th-anniversary celebrations.

She performed two songs accompanied by David Banda, who is her adopted 13-year-old son, on acoustic guitar.

Before starting with the live performance, Madonna took the stage for a short speech, saying: “I just wanna say I’ve never performed on a stage this small!”

“You survived 2018? Are you happy to say ‘Goodbye bitch’?”, She laughed before saying, “I do have some serious things to say”.

The celebrity singer donned a pair of horn-rimmed glasses, “2019 is the year I start wearing glasses,” she said joking about it.

Speaking to the occasion, Madonna also added, “I stand here proudly at the place where pride began, the legendary Stonewall Inn, on the birth of a new year. We come together tonight to celebrate 50 years of revolution.”
