On April 30 2006, Madonna performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

During rehearsals, Madonna spotted her publicist (Liz Rosenberg) hanging out and watching the sound check.  Madonna shouted from the stage, “This is for you Liz!” Then she stuck her hands in her pants and started singing Let It Will Be.

To Liz from all of Madonna’s long-time fans – we love you forever and always!

On April 24 2015, the second single from Madonna’s Rebel Heart album, Ghosttown, was released as a 2-track single in Germany.

Digital Spy had this to say about the single:

If anyone will prove themselves indestructible come the apocalypse, then surely it will be the enduring might of Madonna that survives? According to her latest single Ghosttown, that’s exactly the case. “When it all falls, when it all falls down/ I’ll be your fire when the lights go out,” Madge promises her love on the haunting pop serenade, which gradually builds into a suitably theatrical finale ready for the Queen of Pop’s forthcoming world tour. It hears Madonna significantly more subdued and reflective compared to her handbag bangers of recent years, but by doing so it makes the biggest possible impact.
