Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour Crew All Soured Up Over Cheap Hotel

September 2nd, 2008 Madonna

Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour crew members are all riled up and threatened to stage a walkout over the cheap hotel they were herded into in Nice, France last week.

The Mirror quoted an insider as saying, “Everyone is absolutely furious with her and some of them want to walk out of the tour. They feel they are being treated like second-class citizens, despite all their hard work over the last few months.”

Many of her 250 staff were livid at being herded on to an easyJet flight to Nice then stuck in a £50-a-night dingy Campanile hotel while she stayed at a £11,000-a-night castle, the Mirror reported. “Trouble has been brewing for a few months in the Madonna camp, especially since all the claims that her marriage was in crisis.”

“Now to make matters worse, they are being forced to stay in horrible places and fly on cheap low-cost flights, while she has the lap of luxury. Several are already talking about walking if things don’t improve,” the insider said.
