MADONNA - MADONNA'S HITS TOUR HEADS FOR ISRAEL

Pop superstar MADONNA has confirmed a summer greatest hits tour, which will include a planned stop in Israel.

The MUSIC singer will kickstart the RE-INVENTION tour on 24 May (04) in Los Angeles and perform throughout America and Europe until the beginning of September (04), when she'll play her final date in Paris, France.

It has yet to be confirmed when Madonna - who now follows the Jewish-based faith Kabbalah - will perform in Israel.

Her manager CARESSE HENRY says, "Madonna has already started rehearsals and she can't wait to get back on stage to recreate her songs from the earliest days of her career up until the present.

"There is no doubt that this tour will be the pinnacle of her long standing and well deserved reputation as one of the most exciting live performers of our time."
