Well this is all kinds of awkward...
When Madonna was announced as an act for this year's BRIT awards, the news was met with a mixed reaction from many folk online.
The original Queen of Pop took to the stage at London's O2 surrounded by devil dancers to perform a brand new track and unfortunately got off on the wrong foot.
Judging from this clip it seems like it was a case of too much Material Girl, as Madonna ran into bother while trying to remove her long black cloak.
In fairness to Madge, despite falling down three steps backwards, she carried on like a true professional.
This is what happens when you let down your guard...
