Madonna pulls out of showing Malawian film at Glastonbury
Updated 23:18pm on 7 Jun 2008
While her new movie I Am Because We Are received a warm welcome in Cannes, Madonna has uncharacteristically shied away from promoting the film in Britain.
The 90-minute film about Malawian children was to be screened at the Glastonbury Festival this month, but the singer has pulled out.
Madonna, pictured here with her adopted Malawian son David Banda, was due to promote her new film about children in Malawi at Glastonbury but has pulled out.
‘Madonna hoped the film could be shown on the Saturday and there was talk of a question and answer session,’ says a source.
‘But poor ticket sales for the festival put her off. After talks with organisers it was decided the festival was not the right venue to showcase the film.’
