Madonna never ceases to shock! Megastar will start shows on her new tour by descending from the ceiling on a giant cross, Ananova reports.

 

The crucifix will be made of diamonds and Swarovski crystals and has reportedly cost around CAN$10 million, reports The Sun.

Despite having become a devotee of the Jewish-based Kabbalah sect, Madonna is still happy to use Catholic imagery to shock.

Madonna previously offended religious groups in 1989 with the video for her Like A Prayer single which featured her making love to a saint in a church. Madonna caused uproar in Puerto Rico by rubbing the island's flag between her legs on stage, while Orthodox Jews protested against her first-ever show in Israel.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, half French Canadian Madonna is the most successful female recording artist of all time as of 2000.
