Madonna to defy Eurovision "boycott"

Madame X Deluxe Edition


Pop superstar Madonna is to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv this Saturday in defiance of the so-called boycott.

Y Net News reports:

In her first comment on her decision to sing at the event, Madonna said she was a supporter of all human rights.

"I'll never stop playing music to suit someone's political agenda nor will I stop speaking out against violations of human rights wherever in the world they may be," the singer said in a statement to Reuters.

"My heart breaks every time I hear about the innocent lives that are lost in this region and the violence that is so often perpetuated to suit the political goals of people who benefit from this ancient conflict. I hope and pray that we will soon break free from this terrible cycle of destruction and create a new path towards peace," she added.

The first of the Eurovision semi finals will be broadcast on BBC 4 tonight at 8pm. The second will be on Thursday at the same time.

One of the songs Madonna will perform will be from her new Madam X album due for release on June 14th.
