She said: ‘I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I mean I wasn’t happy about it. I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity it just seemed negative.’
Madonna added: ‘It’s one of those things it’s such a teenager…irrelevant thing to do…there was such a feeling of love and unity there what was the point? It was just out of place.’
