Her manager, Guy Oseary, reportedly told promoter Live Nation about Madonna's change of heart overnight.

Live Nation Australia confirmed the cancellation today, but had no further comment.

Madonna was set to announce summer dates for Melbourne and Sydney on July 12, but postponed the announcement until after the London Olympics.

Stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne had been booked for her new show, MDNA, in January and February.

Earlier this year, Oseary said: ``Madonna really needs to go to Australia. We are long overdue for a trip Down Under and apologise for that. It will happen.''

Live Nation boss Arthur Fogel added: ``We'll get to these markets where she's never been, some exciting new places, and get back to Australia after too long a time.''

But rival promoters claim the show was not viable in a crowded summer tour market.

Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers will tour in summer.

Nicki Minaj and Nickelback are also set to announce last-quarter dates.

Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg is being sought for comment.

Of course a monster would post this.

It would be heartbreaking if it's cancelled. The Australian fans have been waiting for nearly twenty years.

have indicated to promoters Live Nation that the Australian leg of her MDNA tour is no longer viable, though there has been no official word from the touring company.

What about the fans?

Gaga is going to India even tho her manager already said they will have no profits there because it's a poor country.

That's a shame for Aussie fans.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Australian M fans on at least 3 of her forums I'm looking at are in close consensus that it's pretty much the same ****ing reason she hasn't been there the past 20 ****ing years - $$$.

NOT necessarily on M's part (don't give me a warning point) but whether it's her decision can't be ruled out -- someone (either Live Nation, manager, local promoter, Madonna herself) thought the return investment wasn't big enough for hauling everything over there. There's obviously many more facets to it than that, but that's the crux of it.

Yeah, transportation is expensive and it's only 1 country there, it lowers the profit, that's why when artists perform in australia they cut the stage, lighting, etc.
