Madonna continued performing at the Glasgow stop for her Rebel Heart tour after the power was turned off Sunday.

After the sound and lights were turned off at the SSE Hydro arena, the pop diva continued with her encore performance of hit song “Holiday.” The crowd cheer and sang along with her as Madonna and her dancers gave the bare bones performance.

It was speculated that the SSE Hydro had turned off the power due to Madonna’s set breaking the arena’s curfew rules of 11 p.m. However, SSE Hydro released a statement saying that it was Madonna’s team who was at fault.

“Madonna finished her agreed set and then chose to come on for another song,” a spokeswoman for the venue says.”By that stage, all the power and control equipment had already been disconnected by her own production engineers. I would stress that this was not a venue decision.”

Madonna later posted a picture of herself performing at the show with the caption “ā€œWe donā€™t stop till itā€™s over Glasgow! Donā€™t try to silence the Queen.ā€

Glasgow was the last stop on the European leg of her Rebel Heart tour.
