Madonna narrowly escaped a second wardrobe malfunction in the space of a year, as a planned stunt where a veil would be pulled off her head nearly went wrong on the latest leg of her Rebel Heart tour in Taiwan.

Fan footage from the concert in Taipei on Tuesday night (February 9th) shows the Queen of Pop struggling to keep her balance as her backing dancers tried to remove the large veil during ‘Take a Bow’, which was supposed to come off in one smooth, gradual action. Becoming tangled in the material, she was almost yanked over but maintained her composure.

She may well have had flashbacks to the nasty fall she took at the Brit Awards almost exactly a year ago, where an Armani-designed cape that was supposed to detach failed to do so, catching on her costume and pulling her backwards down the stage steps during a performance of ‘Living For Love’.

Madge had said after that incident that it was rather blown out of proportion. “I had little bit of whiplash, I smacked the back of my head. And I had a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am to make sure I was compos mentis.”

Madonna has been frequently grabbing headlines as she continues to tour her 13th album Rebel Heart. Rounding off the American leg of the tour last month, she appeared to describe her ex-husband Guy Ritchie as a ‘c-word’. “I’m looking for a husband, not a c**t. I already married a c**t,” she said in Nashville.

That came as her custody battle over her teenage son Rocco heated up, the court date of which was recently delayed until March 2nd. The 15 year old reportedly left her tour back in early December, apparently after she confiscated his mobile phone when she felt it was distracting him from homework.
