Madonna Booed By Fans At Paris Guerrilla Gig

Madonna has been booed by fans in Paris who screamed "refund!" as she left the stage after just 45 minutes into a concert.

The pop superstar held a small gig in Paris dedicated to celebrating France's tolerance, but the short performance saw onlookers hound her over their disappointment.

The intimate show at Paris' Olympia club was streamed live on YouTube and within less than 24 hours the streaming channel had to disable comments and received more than 12,000 dislikes, compared to 10,000 likes.

An invitation to tweet about the show appeared to backfire - audience members used the suggested hash tag MDNAParis to complain.

The rebroadcast of the show cuts off when Madonna leaves the stage, apparently before the crowd realised the concert was over.

The show was announced after France's far-right National Front threatened to sue the singer after she showed a video at a Bastille Day concert that included an image of the party's leader, Marine Le Pen, with a swastika on her forehead.

Marine Le Pen, who took control of the party from her father Jean-Marie, was reported to be angry at the singer's performance following her recent efforts to shed the National Front's racist and anti-Semitic image during their unsuccessful election campaign.

"I've heard that a certain Marine Le Pen was upset with me," Madonna told the crowd, according to the newspaper Le Parisien.

She added: "It's not my intention to make enemies."

Madonna has been at the centre of controversy during her latest world tour, MDNA.

She shocked audiences in Turkey when she pulled down her bra and flashed her breast on stage, while singing Human Nature, and In Rome she pulled down her trousers in front of fans.
