Her Asian and Australian dates are expected to be announced by the end of March.

The last time the 56-year-old performed on Aussie soil was way back in 1993 for the Girlie Show World Tour.

Her November 19 show at the Sydney Cricket Ground was filmed and released as a TV special on HBO to critical acclaim.
