LGBT+ pop icon Madonna will make an appearance, and is expected to perform a few songs, at WorldPride New York City 2019 | Stonewall 50, an event organised by NYC Pride, on Sunday, June 30.
MADONNA, whose new album Madame X is released globally on June 14, was the first to announce the news through a video aired during the Monday, June 3 broadcast of NBC’s The Today Show.
“I hear you,” said Madonna in the video, while draped in one of her Madame X Rainbow Flags, “I will be on Pride Island, where I was born”.
Madonna has partnered with the Trevor Project, the national suicide prevention hotline for LGBT+ youth, and for the entire month of Pride will donate all her proceeds from the exclusive Madame X Pride collection of a limited edition Pride Rainbow Vinyl, flag and digital download will be donated to the organisation.
Chris Frederick, NYC Pride’s Executive Director, said: “The community called loud and clear for an appearance by Madonna at Pride Island for WorldPride and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. I’m thrilled to report that Madonna and WorldPride NYC delivered on that call.
“This is going to be a night that our Pride Island guests will remember for the rest of their lives.”
