Madonna lit up the O2 Arena in London's Greenwich on Saturday night, kicking off her career-spanning Celebration tour in the UK.
The Queen of Pop, 65, played more than 40 of her greatest hits including Vogue, Like A Prayer, and Holiday as she dazzled the audience with a setlist of her most popular anthems.
In one surprising moment during the show, the Like A Virgin! hitmaker took to the stage alongside her 17-year-old daughter Chifundo 'Mercy' James, who hit the keys on a grand piano and played the haunting instrumental to her mom's iconic hit Bad Girl.

The mom-of-six's 10-year-old daughter Estere enchanted the audience as she vogued to a mashup of her mom's most-famous song, strutting down the runway whilst performing a highly stylised improvised dance set.
"Like mother, like daughter!" shouted an emcee, as Madonna and her eldest daughter Lourdes held up '10' paddles as if they were judging Estere in a voguing contest. Iconic!
The multi award-winning superstar opened up about her parenthood journey in a Vanity Fair Italy interview in January 2023.
"Having children and raising them is a work of art. And no one gives you a manual," she said, "You have to learn from mistakes. It's a job that takes a lot of time. And it's tiring because there's never rest."
