Madonna is apparently planning to stage her most shocking stage performance yet, which, given some of her past shows, is quite a challenge unless she's willing to go to the lengths of that 'Nine Songs' film.
That said, some of the rumours circulating about the new show suggest it may be more real world shock rather than sex shock. Word is fans will see Madonna being "frazzled" in an electric chair while huge screens will show images of starving children and people killed in Iraq.
But for those who like to keep their heads in the sand while gigging - we're promised a simulated lesbian sex scene too.
