Madonna Performs Impromptu Concert In Paris To Honor Attack Victims

Pop star Madonna has staged an impromptu concert at Paris’
Republique plaza to honor victims of the Nov. 13 attacks in which 130 people
died.

The singer, who had just finished her show in Paris
Wednesday evening, tweeted to her fans: “Im singing some songs in place de
la republique. Meet me there now.”

Accompanied by a guitarist, she performed songs including
John Lennon’s “Imagine” – a song that became an unofficial anthem in
the aftermath of the attacks.

The iconic statue at Republique, transformed into an
informal memorial since the attacks, is piled with flowers and candles left by
passers-by.
