Madonna fans have complained they were unable to hear the Queen of Pop at her Wembley gig.

Madonna's performance on Thursday received rave reviews, but hundreds of concert-goers inundated message boards saying they had been let down by poor sound quality at Wembley Stadium.

Prices ranged from £65 to £160 to see Madonna play at the venue, where Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson were in the audience.

One fan wrote: "The sound for those of us in the seated areas was very, very poor... During a number of the songs being performed, people around me were discussing the price of bread - really".

A fan said of the only English date on the star's tour: "So many people were leaving before even halfway through the show.

"Near me there were a few boos and people losing interest... At times you would see her mouth move and the sound a few seconds later... at times we couldn't even hear what song it was she was playing."

One fan advised: "She should be having stern words with her sound managers."

Madonna's spokeswoman and Wembley Stadium were not commenting.
