Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Ciccone may be the one who got to sing on her mom’s latest album, but it was son Rocco Ritchie who got a part in the Material Mother’s stage show.
As Madonna kicked off her “MDNA” tour last night in Tel Aviv, Israel, Rocco Ritchie — the singer’s son with ex-husband Guy Ritchie — got several extended cameos. More than 35,000 fans saw the 11-year-old make his stage debut.
Ritchie first appeared onstage dancing with his mom, wearing a “Search & Destroy” T-shirt with black jeans. He smiled big as he danced and clapped, showing off red braces that matched his suspenders.
Soon after, Ritchie appeared in a priest costume, swaying with a gospel choir of back-up dancers twice his size.
Finally, Rocco put on a blue sequined shirt and a pair of orange headphones and danced as his mother DJed from a podium behind him.
Before last night’s show, reports had circulated that 15-year-old Ciccone would be appearing on stage with her mom, with whom she collaborates on the fashion line Material Girl. It was unclear if Ciccone was sick or if she opted to passed the honor on to her younger brother as she appeared as a dancer on Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour in 2009.
Madonna has been criticized for kicking off her tour in Israel. The songstress explained the move last night onstage.
“I chose to start my world tour in Israel for a special and important reason,” she said. “You can’t be a fan of mine and not want peace in the world. People of all walks of life, we’re all sons and daughters of the universe and human beings. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved. It’s easy to say, ‘I want peace,’ it’s another thing to do it.”
