Madonna shows off knuckle bling as she leaves London Palladium

Madonna showed off her sparkly knuckle bling as she left the London Palladium following a sell-out show at the venue.

The 61-year-old is currently embarking on her Madame X tour and kicked off the first of 14 dates in the capital on Wednesday night after she was previously forced to cancel her first show due to injury.

Pictured leaving the Palladium and later in the back of a taxi, Madonna was seen dressed head to toe in Versace, while wrapping up warm in a scarf.

Notably, she was seen sporting a shiny piece of gold jewellery across her knuckles.

During the show, Madonna was not afraid to hold back on her feelings, telling the audience that she had never been with a ‘guy with a small d**k’, while joking that ‘size matters’.

Speaking to the sold-out crowd, the Like A Virgin hitmaker told them: ‘What do you call a man with a small penis? The answer is, I wouldn’t f*****g know. I’ve never been with a guy with a small d**k.

‘You know size matters, don’t pretend that it doesn’t!’

A somewhat positive reference to her numerous exes, including ex-husbands Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie.

Madonna was also forced to sit on a chair during one performance as a result of her hip injury, and she made the opportunity to make fun of the situation.

‘Usually I kneel for about 20 minutes and that’s fine. I’m good at it, so I’ve been told.’

After sharing a beer with an audience member, she added: ‘There you go, we have just shared STDs.’

Charming.

The singer also managed to finish her show on time, after Westminster City Council had previously warned her with an ‘iron curtain’ if she missed her curfew at 11pm.

‘I’ve got to make it fast,’ she explained. ‘There’s an iron curtain that’s going to come down at a certain time. I’ve been warned by Westminster Council. I hear it weighs nine tons, and that would hurt.’

As a result, it seems Madonna chose to cut out the four act one songs of the night – God Control, Dark Ballet, Human Nature and Express Yourself – in order to adhere to the strict curfew and avoid a fine.

Madonna’s shows at the Palladium continue until 16 February.
