Madonna, who is currently in concert in Paris, paid tribute to the victims of the 2015 terrorist attacks by performing “ I Will Survive “.
Eight years after the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015, Madonna remembered the tragedy. During her Celebration Tour in Paris on Monday evening, the singer looked back on her impromptu visit to Place de la République with her son David in December 2015, while she was in the city for her tour Rebel Heart.
“ It’s a tragic event, and I remember singing with David on the Place de la République, the last time I was here with the Rebel Heart tour, the little I could do to recognize this tragedyshe said. But these tragedies keep happening, they never stop. We can sometimes wonder when this will end, and what we can do as human beings to make a difference. »
She then invited the thousands of spectators present at the Accor Arena to turn on the flashlights on their phones and led them in an acoustic cover of “ I Will Survive » by Gloria Gaynor. The singer performed Gloria Gaynor’s song as part of her new tour, encouraging her fans to come together for love, peace and unity.

In 2015, just after its opening night, Madonna joined those mourning the victims of the attacks on the famous Paris square, located near the Bataclan. “ I think it was good to come back close to where the events took place. A symbolic, national monument. We wanted to proclaim that we would not give in to fear and, after all this violence and suffering, to bring peace, energy, joy. I will never forget this night, never…. “, she declared to the Parisian in 2017.
