Madonna will end her forthcoming Sticky & Sweet tour with a concert in Israel, it's been announced.

The singer is “very excited” about returning to Tel Aviv on September 1, a statement said.

Madonna's last performed in the country in 1993 as part of her The Girlie Show world tour.

The star is due to restart her Sticky & Sweet tour in London next month, before calling at venues across continental Europe.

The first leg of the tour, which took place last year, became the biggest ever by a solo artist, grossing an estimated $282million.
