This must be an embarrassment for Brazil, unfortunate timing:-
"Massive flooding and landslides triggered by days of heavy rain in Brazil's southernmost state have killed 55 people, according to local authorities. Officials say another 74 people are missing in Rio Grande do Sul.
Nearly 25,000 residents have been forced to leave their homes since the storms began last Saturday.
At least half a million were without power and clean water, with further rainfall expected".
"Madonna put on a free concert in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night with throngs of fans flocking to see the pop idol on Brazil's famous Copacabana beach.
"Rio, here we are in the most beautiful place in the world," she declared, as the performance got under way.
The show was the final stop on the 65-year-old's Celebration Tour, celebrating her 40 years in music.
More than 1.5 million fans were estimated to have attended the show."
