The star gave a free concert in Brazil to mark the final night of The Celebration Tour.

Madonna has brought her tour to a close with a free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, in front of a reported 1.6million fans. Rio’s tourism agency said that 1.6million people attended the concert on the famous city beach, where huge events have taken place in the past. The Rolling Stones performed there to 1.2 million fans in 2006, and Rod Stewart gave the biggest free rock concert in history there in 1994, drawing 4million people (although more than a few may have been there for the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks extravaganza).
