Madonna Releases Lawsuit On Concert Postponement

JAKARTA - pop music queen Madonna slipped from the lawsuit filed against her due to the late concert. Michael Fellows and Jason Alvarez as plaintiffs are known to have withdrawn their lawsuits from the court.

As is known, the 65-year-old singer was sued on January 17 for delaying the start of the Celebration World Tour performance on December 13 in Brooklyn. The plaintiff accused her of "false advertising" and then filed a lawsuit.

Responding to the withdrawal of the lawsuit, Jeff Warshafsky as Madonna's lawyer and Live Nation said in a letter that what happened emerged from the consciousness of the two plaintiffs. He stated that Madonna and Live Nation did not agree with the position of plaintiffs who stated that each party had to bear a number of costs due to the delay in concerts.

"The defendant believed that this action was a reckless strike demand designed to force them to issue legal fees," Warshafsky said in a letter, citing People, Friday, June 21.

The plaintiff has now ignored this lawsuit when it became clear that this approach would not result in settlement payments and that they should oppose the defendant's motion to reject the amended complaint," he continued.

For information, the plaintiff claimed that the concert on December 13, 2023 started at 22.30, although tickets showed that the concert would start at 20.30.

In their lawsuit, Fellows and Alvarez stated that they would not pay for tickets if they found out the start of the concert was too late. The filing also noted that the plaintiff argued that concert audiences were faced with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and an increase in public transportation costs at late hours.
