Robyn Has Harsh Words About Supporting Madonna On Tour

October 8, 2008
Robyn Has Harsh Words About Supporting Madonna On TourRobyn has spoken out about her experience opening up for Madonna... and it wasn’t a pleasant one.

Robyn gave an interview to a local Swedish paper and clearly seemed irritated with what it was like to be on tour with the Queen of Pop accoring to Perez Hilton.

"I hadn't expected any glamour, but it's strange that they assume that the first thing you're gonna do is run after Madonna and ask for an autograph," stated Robyn.

The singer revealed that she and crew were under strict orders not to approach Madonna, speak to her and absolutely no pictures were allowed.

Robyn also went on to say that her worst nightmare would be to turn into a Madonna due to her constant chasing of the latest trends. As an artist she herself does not want to be someone who does not feel safe in her creative process.

The singer has clarified that she has never met Madonna and that she does not think she is a horrible person.

Madonna is currently on the road in America with her Sticky and Sweet tour.
