Pop star Madonna is deeply “affected” by comments made about her changing face ahead of her tour. The singer has come under fire recently, being accused of having plastic surgery due to some fans thinking she looks different, reports Mirror.co.uk.

The 64-year-old sported a different look at the 2023 Grammy Awards in February, with Madonna slamming the critical comments she received. Despite allegedly denying plastic surgery rumours, it’s thought that Madonna was upset by the comments. Ahead of her sold out Celebration tour, Madonna is determined to return to her usual look, an insider has said. Her first concert is set to kick off on July 15. Speaking to the ‘Daily Mail’, the source said: “Despite what people think, the criticism over her drastically different appearance does affect her.”

Mirror.co.uk further states that the insider mentioned that Madonna is currently undergoing procedures that will take her back to her natural look. The source added: “She sees and hears what people say about her and, for the tour, she wants to look more like herself again for her fans.”

It has been rumoured that Madonna won’t be alone when she steps out on her 80 date tour.

Madonna is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Dubbed the “Queen of Pop”, Madonna has been widely recognised for her continual reinvention and versatility in music production, songwriting, and visual presentation. She has pushed the boundaries of artistic expression in mainstream music, while continuing to maintain control over every aspect of her career. Her works, which incorporate social, political and religious themes, have generated both controversy and critical acclaim. A prominent cultural figure of the 20th and 21st centuries, Madonna remains one of the most “well-documented figures of the modern age”, with a broad amount of scholarly reviews and literature works on her, as well as an academic mini subdiscipline devoted to her named Madonna studies. Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in modern dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, she rose to solo stardom with her debut studio album, Madonna (1983). She followed it with a series of successful albums, including all-time bestsellers Like a Virgin (1984), True Blue (1986) and The Immaculate Collection (1990), as well as Grammy Award winners Ray of Light (1998) and Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). Madonna has amassed many chart-topping singles throughout her career, including “Like a Virgin”, “La Isla Bonita”, “Like a Prayer”, “Vogue”, “Take a Bow”, “Frozen”, “Music”, “Hung Up”, and “4 Minutes”.

Madonna’s popularity was enhanced by roles in films such as Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Dick Tracy (1990), A League of Their Own (1992), and Evita (1996). While Evita won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, many of her other films were not as well received. As a businesswoman, Madonna founded the company Maverick in 1992. It included Maverick Records, one of the most successful artist-run labels in history. Her other ventures include fashion brands, written works, health clubs, and filmmaking. She contributes to various charities, having founded the Ray of Light Foundation in 1998 and Raising Malawi in 2006.
