Madonna calls out fan for sitting down during LA show — before finding out concertgoer was in a wheelchair

Madonna scolded a fan who wasn’t standing among the cheering crowd during her show Thursday in Los Angeles before realizing they were seated in a wheelchair.

The “Like a Virgin” singer performed at the Kia Forum as part of her “Celebration Tour” when she made the embarrassing remark.

“What are you doing sitting down over there? What are you getting sitting down?” Madonna asked, before walking to the edge of the stage to get a closer listen to the fan.

That’s when the 80s pop icon realized she made the mortifying mistake.

“Oh, OK. Politically incorrect. Sorry about that,” Madonna said after realizing the fan was in a wheelchair. “I’m glad you are here.”

The moment ignited outrage across social media after the TikTok video was shared with millions despite the 65-year-old singer taking accountability for her mistake.

“That is a sad apology! What the heck. Refund them their ticket!!” one user demanded.

“She did not apologize enough,” another claimed.

“Maam, there are 100 reasons why someone might sit- and all of them are valid,” another noted.

The TikTok has been viewed over 2 million times since being posted on Saturday.

The singer kicked off her stint at the venue on Monday as part of a five-leg run at the 18,000-seat arena in Inglewood.

Madonna had 80 shows on the docket at the start, in cities across North America and Europe.

The Celebration Tour has been running since October 2023 and concludes on April 26 in Mexico City. 

The foolish comment is the latest mishap the legendary “Open Your Heart” singer had while on stage during the tour, which will celebrate four decades of the singer’s hits.

In February, the Queen of Pop fell off stage while performing at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

A video showed Madonna falling backward in her chair during the show — but she recovered like a champ. 

The tour almost didn’t even happen after a scary medical emergency before it was scheduled to start.

Madonna spent several days in the ICU last summer because of a severe bacterial infection — which forced her to postpone the North American leg. 

“It’s a miracle that I’m alive,” she said during her Brooklyn stop at Barclays Center in December, per USA Today. “I feel like I’m one of the lucky ones. … Let’s take a moment to be grateful.”
