Madonna has made an adjustment to her Celebration Tour by removing an image of Luther Vandross from the section that pays tribute to AIDS victims. The Queen of Pop's representative confirmed that Vandross' estate requested the image be taken down. The ongoing Celebration Tour features images of celebrities who lost their lives to AIDS, such as Keith Haring, Herb Ritts, and Freddie Mercury, during Madonna's performance of her 1986 single 'Live to Tell.'
During a show in Sacramento on Feb. 24, Luther Vandross' image was unexpectedly featured, prompting his estate to issue a statement clarifying that Vandross passed away in 2005 due to complications from a stroke, not AIDS or the HIV virus. The estate is in contact with Madonna's management to have Vandross removed from the tribute.
