Madonna issues call for safe return of vintage pieces stolen from Coachella
Madonna has revealed that her vintage costume worn at Coachella has gone missing, and asked for the "safe return" of the pieces.
Madonna shared the news after making a surprise appearance at Sabrina Carpenter's Friday night headline show for weekend two of Coachella.
The pair performed "Vogue" and "Like A Prayer", marking a grand return to the desert for the pop icon after making her debut at the festival 20 years ago, fresh off the recent announcement of her upcoming album, Confessions On A Dance Floor Part II, a follow-up to her 2006 album Confessions On A Dance Floor. Honouring the occasion, she wore the same boots, corset, and jacket that she wore for her first Coachella appearance — a full-circle moment that she notes "hit different" until she discovered that the items were missing.
In the post, she writes: “Still flying high since Friday night at Coachella! Thank you to Sabrina and everyone who made it possible. Bringing Confessions II back to where it began was such a thrill.
“This full circle moment hit different until I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing – my costume that was pulled from my personal archives – jacket, corset, dress and all other garments.
“These aren’t just clothes, they are part of my history. Other archival items from the same era went missing as well. I’m hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team. I’m offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart.”
