Madonna will perform a free mega-concert in May on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach to close out her "Celebration" tour, the singer and organizers announced on March 25.

Calling it her "biggest show yet," a statement on the pop icon's website said the concert is meant as a "thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music."

If you need an introduction, let's just mention that the Dutch-Iranian singer, songwriter and producer opened for Madonna during her recent Amsterdam performances. She has gained critical acclaim and a devoted fan base due to her creative blend of genres and magnetic stage presence.

Madonna 's rescheduled Celebration Tour will kick off in Brooklyn, New York, in a matter of months.

Madonna over the weekend praised the support of friends and family one month after she was hospitalized with a bacterial infection that forced her to postpone her tour.

"Love from family and friends is the best Medicine," the 64-year-old wrote on Instagram.

Madonna said Monday she's on "the road to recovery" after a bacterial infection that required hospitalization, in the U.S. pop icon's first statement since landing in the intensive care unit late last month.

Madonna is recovering after falling ill with a "serious bacterial infection" that landed her in an intensive care unit for several days, her manager Guy Oseary said in a statement on June 28.

"Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care," he said. "A full recovery is expected."

Madonna is to cast Julia Garner in the lead role of her own biopic, which she is herself directing, it has been reported.

According to Variety, Ozark star Garner was offered the role after an extensive audition process, with contenders reportedly including Florence Pugh, Euphoria's Alexa Demie and Odessa Young.

To Edvard Munch, they were his children. And like any doting father, he hated the idea of them straying too far from home.Now, more than 26,000 artworks from the master expressionist's "family," including his best known piece, "The Scream," have moved under one roof in the enormous and custom-built MUNCH museum on the shore of Oslo Fjord.

British director and screenwriter Guy Ritchie on Feb. 28 visited Hagia Sophia mosque and Topkapı Palace in Istanbul.

The world-famous director is in Turkey for the shooting of his movie Five Eyes.

Ritchie, known for his productions, including Clash, Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: Shadow Plays and The Gentlemen, toured Istanbul with his crew.

In a move to undermine a controversial auction of Madonna memorabilia, a longtime collaborator of the Material Girl has uploaded a number of her demos to YouTube, including "Like a Prayer."
