“As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect. Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realized,” the Material Girl said in a statement. “I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can’t wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there.”
