Madonna’s Sept. 11 show at Staples Center, canceled after
the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., has
been rescheduled for Saturday night, at the same venue.
Tickets for the original performance will be honored Saturday,
and her performances Thursday and Friday night will proceed as
scheduled. All three nights have sold out.
The Staples Center Web site urges ticket holders to arrive an
hour early since there will be increased security measures in
place.
The Latin Grammy telecast, also originally scheduled for Sept.
11, is still in limbo. Although a statement released Tuesday
morning said it would be canceled, another released Thursday
implied it might be rescheduled.
“Regardless of our decision to cancel or reschedule the
event and telecast, rest assured that in the event the show is
canceled we will work with Deloitte & Touche to ensure that all
the winners still will be recognized and given the awards they have
earned,” said Michael Greene, the president and CEO of the
Recording Academy and Latin Recording Academy in a statement.
The Emmy award telecast has not yet been rescheduled, although a
decision is expected in the next few days. The event was to air on
CBS Sept. 16.
