Madonna withdraws from a surprise planned appearance at London Pride in Trafalgar Square, multiple outlets report. The 67-year-old singer had been rumoured to perform at the event, with reports saying she was expected to share the stage with Beth Ditto and MNEK. According to the coverage, the decision is linked to concerns about safety around the appearance, and Madonna does not take part as initially suggested. One outlet reports that the withdrawal occurs at the last minute, while another says the decision is connected to worries that the well-organised event could become chaotic. The articles do not provide further details about specific risks or official statements from organisers or Madonna’s team. The reports focus on the cancellation of the surprise performance rather than any change to the rest of the London Pride programme. The planned appearance does not go ahead as announced in the earlier rumours.
