After her Rebel Heart tour stop in Paris last night (Dec. 9), Madonna decided pay a tribute to the victims of the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks on the city with an impromptu performance at Place De La Republique, the square where a makeshift memorial has been erected.
Announcing the performance on Twitter, she sang “Imagine,” “Ghosttown,” and “Like A Prayer” for the crowd alongside her son David and guitarist Monte Pittman. “Everybody knows why we’re here,” she said during her brief performance, according to a report from The Guardian. “We just want to sing a few songs about peace, just to spread love and joy, and to pay our honor and respect to the people who died almost four weeks ago. And to spread light — we all need it.”
