LONDON — Madonna kicked off her 'Celebration' tour in London on Saturday, with a performance that proved her energy, charisma and appetite for controversy were little dimmed after four decades of pop super-stardom and a brush with death earlier this year. The 65-year-old's greatest hits show was pushed back from its original July start date after she was hospitalized in intensive care for a serious bacterial infection. «I'm really damn surprised I made it this far. And I mean that on so many levels,» she told fans at the O2 arena. Wearing the corset and chains that defined her breakthrough, she sang «Into The Groove» before a sound problem forced her to ad-lib about her early struggles in New York. With the backing track restored, 1983's 'Holiday' recreated the hedonistic joy of a New York club before the onslaught of AIDS, marked by a tribute to those who had died. The mix of religious imagery and sexuality that elevated Madonna from pop star to cultural icon was the backdrop to 'Like a Prayer', while 'Vogue', the hit that powered her into the 1990s, saw one of the stages become a catwalk. Madonna addressed the situation in the Middle East.
