Problems are mounting for an upcoming Madonna gig in Moscow, though this has nothing to do with objections to that slightly controversial crucifix routine. Rather, safety officials are concerned that the proposed site for the gig - in front of Moscow University - could be dangerous because students are expected to pile into the university buildings around the site to get a glimpse of the concert, and it is feared some may be injured (mainly by falling out of windows). To that end organisers are being urged to find a new site, but with the city's main stadium hosting a football match that night, it isn't clear if a big enough venue will be found in time. Agence France Presse quote the city's security head Nikolai Koulikov as saying: "The question of where the Madonna concert will eventually take place has still not been resolved".
