Madonna Hits Back at Concert Delay Lawsuit, Says Fans Can’t Sue Over Needing to ‘Wake Up Early’

Madonna responds to a fan lawsuit over her late concert starts in New York City.

Madonna is firing back at a class action lawsuit filed by New York City fans who are angry that her concerts started later than scheduled, arguing that needing to “get up early to go to work” the next day is not the kind of legal “injury” someone can sue over. In a motion filed Wednesday, the Material Girl’s lawyers urged a federal judge to dismiss the case, in which ticket buyers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden accused her of breaking the law by starting three December shows in Brooklyn more than two hours later than the scheduled. Fellows and Hadden filed their case in January, claiming Madonna and concert giant Live Nation breached contracts with buyers and violated state laws covering false advertising and unfair business practices by starting the shows late.
