Madonna was joined onstage by surprise guest Justin Timberlake who sings on her latest hit 4 Minutes.

The set saw the Material Girl fly through songs Candy Shop, Miles Away, Hung Up, Give it 2 Me and Music in approximately 30 minutes.

Madonna told the 2,000-plus crowd she felt "like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to make a record with him (Timberlake), Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Kanye West."

She added: "And even though I've made what seems like 100 records, every time I put one out it's like the first time, and the best time."
