Madonna: Sticky & Sweet [Hardcover]

Guy Oseary (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2, 2010

Following the critical success of Madonna: Confessions, the powerHouse team, Madonna, and Guy Oseary return with a knockout punch: Madonna: Sticky & Sweet, a dynamic look at Madonna's celebrated Sticky & Sweet Tour, which broke all previous records and became the number-one highest grossing tour of any solo artist ever--with Madonna playing before 2,350,282 fans and selling over 280 million dollars' worth of tickets. The tour has been extended through the summer of 2009 and will have passed the mark of 400 million dollars in ticket sales by the time it's complete.

In over 500 full-color photographs taken on, and backstage, during the course of this historic 58-show tour, Oseary documents the four acts of the rock-driven, pop journey that is the Sticky & Sweet show--Pimp: A mashed-up homage to 1920s deco and modern-day gangsta pimp, with Madonna making a grand entrance dressed in Givenchy; Old School: Madonna tips her hat to her early-80s, downtown, New York City dance roots, with flashes of Keith Haring and the dance culture vibe of the time, including the birth of Hip Hop; Gypsy: A VIP trip to La Isla Bonita, infused with the spirit of Romanian folk music and dance--a tour de force; and Rave: Far-eastern influences emerge all sparkly and sporty.

It is HUGE. Really. And heavy. There's nothing you haven't seen already. Tons of incredible pictures in a book. And if you expect to see yourself in the crowd on one of the pics, just give it up. There's only 4 or 5 pictures of the crowd, most of them in Buenos Aires.

It's good to complete your collection, though. It's not extraordinary.
