The award-winning pop icon didn't pass through the normal customs, immigration and quarantine procedures as being implemented at the NAIA. Even airport and airline staff were barred from taking photos of Madonna through their phones.<br /><br />The global music icon who rose to fame with her popular 80s hits such as 'Material Girl', 'Crazy for You' and 'Like A Virgin' was only initially set to do a one-night showstopping musical performance at the MOA Arena, but due to the "overwhelming public demand", Madonna's team later on gave in to do a two-night historic concert much to the delight of her fans. <br /><br />The statement of having an additional night to the concert was made July last year by Live Nation Entertainment, the producer of the tour. Locally, it was network provider Globe telecom and Music Management International who organized the necessary things to bring the "Queen" to Manila.<br /><br />The Philippines is the second to the last stop of Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' leg tour in Asia.<br /><br /><b>Madonna's "Rebel Heart" one of the most expensive concerts in PH</b><br /><b><br /></b> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGlYkZ0FucSCfdxW1rpYYT5vXn9FvCNja5BVgY6iDirSm2_F7KLTOWNh5efOe_WOH0pvFO29nUTobF1gyKcrr5qng8jvlwCFxV_jEfMd7xd3GS8m_XRF-1xZXV_K43gjq-cogXk4K72oQy/s1600/madonnaconcert.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Madonna's "Rebel Heart" one of the most expensive concerts in PH" border="0" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGlYkZ0FucSCfdxW1rpYYT5vXn9FvCNja5BVgY6iDirSm2_F7KLTOWNh5efOe_WOH0pvFO29nUTobF1gyKcrr5qng8jvlwCFxV_jEfMd7xd3GS8m_XRF-1xZXV_K43gjq-cogXk4K72oQy/s640/madonnaconcert.jpg" title="Madonna's "Rebel Heart" one of the most expensive concerts in PH" width="560" /></a></div><b><br /></b> <br />Tickets for the "Rebel Heart" concert began selling since August 2, 2015.
