"Just come late and I won’t have to come early."
Following her appearance five hours late at last Thursday night's Tears Of A Clown show in Melbourne, pop diva Madonna has once again disappointed fans in Brisbane, who waited over two hours to see her last night.
News.com.au reports that when after she finally appeared at 11.20pm, she joked about her lateness.
"Stay home, do your hair and make up, have a tequila. Roll yourself a fat one... no, I don’t believe in that shit.
"Just come late and I won’t have to come early. We’ve got three more shows and we want to fix the problem."

Media and photographers, however, were told last night, "Madonna's DJ is on now for an hour, then Madonna will have prayers, then, we'll see what happens after that."
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre show last night were originally scheduled for Saturday, 26 March and Sunday, 27 March, but were brought forward to weeknights — last night and tonight.
To make the situation worse, public transport services through Translink reportedly ended for the night at 12.17am when they left from Boondall station.
A number of Madonna's fans left the show early, seeking refunds and taking to social media to vent their frustrations.

Dear @Madonna I love you but do you think this view is worth $602 when you're not due until 10.30pm on a week night? pic.twitter.com/6F511N3FVw
