Coachella rocks with Madonna’s kiss climax

Madonna startled an audience of tens of thousands by making out with the rapper Drake in an unexpected climax to the Coachella music festival.

The pop superstar was not scheduled to appear at the three-day festival in the California desert but walked on stage on Sunday night as Drake performed a song named after her — in which the rapper boasts that he can make a girl as big as Madonna if she gives in to his advances.

Madonna performed two of her own songs before bending over a seated Drake for a prolonged, full-tongue kiss as her long, blonde locks fell upon him. “Bitch, I’m Madonna!” she declared as she walked off, an allusion to one of the new songs by the singer who drew headlines a decade ago for a televised kiss with Britney Spears.

Madonna’s intervention brought new life to a performance that might otherwise have been forgotten by Drake, who — in a rarity for the tightly run festival — started nearly half an hour late.

Madonna and the Toronto rapper’s locked lips were not the only sensual scene on Sunday at Coachella, which is as renowned for skimpy clothing in the desert heat as it is for its trendsetting musical selection.

Florence Welch, singer of the soulful British indie band Florence and the Machine, invited fans to remove her clothing until she pranced in the crowd with only a bra.
