SECURITY MESSAGE FOR U.S. CITIZENS: MADONNA CONCERTS (AUGUST 7, 2012)

U.S. Embassy Moscow and U.S. Consulate General St. Petersburg

SECURITY MESSAGE FOR U.S. CITIZENS:

MADONNA CONCERTS

August 7, 2012

This is to alert U.S. citizens in Russia who are planning to attend the Madonna concerts in Moscow on Tuesday, August 7, or in St. Petersburg on Thursday, August 9, that the U.S. Consulate General in St. Petersburg has received information regarding a threat of physical violence against spectators and performers at the St. Petersburg concert on August 9.

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow and the U.S. Consulate General in St. Petersburg have shared the information with appropriate Russian law enforcement authorities. Russian authorities have indicated to the Embassy that they are taking appropriate measures in light of this information. While we expect that enhanced security measures will be put in place at both concerts, U.S. citizens are reminded to remain vigilant regarding their personal security, and to be aware of their surroundings at all times, especially in crowded areas.

Sh** just got serious, I'm worried now

Why would someone want to attack a Madonna concert? Is it gang activity or something?

I thought Russia loved Madonna. MDNA is 4x Platinum there.

Oh my, this is getting scary.

It's not about Madonna, it's about what she represents maybe

Maybe it has to do with the speech she's going to give against the russian anti-LGBT law or maybe an attack against the U.S.

So sad we live in a world were pop stars can't even tour without the threat of violence

[PATTAR]

May everyone be safe.

[Lily Gaga]

Oh come on...that hate from Russia against Madonna is getting crazy. And I thought 2006 was over the top...

[(Cole)]

I feel like someone's going to die.

But this is the Embassy issuing a warning to U.S. citizens, has it been this bad? I'm clueless as to if this is a common occurrence or not?

[Lover]

omg.

[LoudR]

She should cancel it or get tighter security that night..

Back in 2006 It was different...there where public death threats directed to Madonna and her team...similiar to the Born this Way-Ball situation a few weeks ago.

Either way It's serious, they normally don't do that with every event If you mean that. They're all pressed by the Queen as usual. Nothing new, right?

Cancel it. Gaga cancelled her concert in Indonesia due to a similar situation.

[Lily Gaga]

Madonna would NEVER cancel a gig just because of this. She didn't in the past, won't in the future.

If she cancels watch everyone calling her a coward and that she's lost here fearlessness and if she doesn't watch the world crucify her if someone is killed, I don't know, sometimes it seems that whatever she choses to do she will get blamed

Damn

It's a doubled edge sword. Can't she just beef up security?

Believe me, that would be a HUGE let down for HERSELF! She doesn't care about the public but for her own image. I swear, she would hate herself for cancelling. So she won't. It's a fact, bookmark me.
