I’M sure that everyone took a sharp intake of breath viewing the footage of pop star Madonna falling down steps onstage thanks to a dodgy cloak.
At 56, she still looks amazing and can certainly belt out a song with the best. She’s a bit upset, though, because BBC Radio1 isn’t playing her latest single – she’s claiming age discrimination.
She might be right but, then, there is always the possibility that Radio 1 doesn’t regard Madge’s type of music as right for its particular audience. I’m all for fighting ageism, but it may be better to pick the battles carefully.
