Madonna cries while singing 'Like a Virgin'
By Rebecca Macatee, E! Online
Madonna's "MDNA" tour is full of surprises. She flashed a boob in Istanbul, mooned her audience in Rome, and in Berlin had an emotional breakdown onstage.
During a slowed-down performance of her 1984 hit "Like a Virgin," Madonna became visibly emotional and cried before finishing the song.

But Madge wasn't sad for long: A shirtless backup dancer lifted her to her feet, fastened her into a corset and sensually stroked her body.
He then tightened her corset dramatically, causing her to theatrically gasp for air.
"Don't cry, Madonna!" a fan yelled out.
Fortunately, the Material Girl regained her wits, finishing the song to much applause.
