Madonna’s global string of shows kicked off in mid-October at The 02 Arena in London, and marks her first retrospective tour, which highlights her more than four-decade recording career.

However, the singer stumbled into an awkward moment on stage during the LA leg, when she asked a wheelchair-bound fan to stand up during her performance.

The cringe-worthy mistake circulated on social media afterwards, with millions of users witnessing the moment Madonna noticed someone seated in the audience.

“What are you doing sitting down over there?” she appeared to say, while pointing at them, before asking again: “What are you getting sitting down?”

Seemingly unable to hear their response, Madonna is seen moving closer to the edge of the stage, before realising the fan was in a wheelchair.

“Oh, okay,” she admitted. “Politically incorrect. Sorry about that … I’m glad you’re here.”
