Madonna honoured at Wembley

Madonna has become the first artist to be honoured at Wembley Arena's new Square of Fame.

The singer made her mark by casting her hands in a bronze plate outside the venue prior to her Confessions show last night (August 1), reports the BBC.

Organisers are hoping to honour a series of top performers including Kylie Minogue and Geroge Michael through the Hollywood style feature in the coming months following the venue's £35 million refurbishment earlier this year.

Madonna said: "It is great honour. I feel like an honorary Brit. I look forward to seeing other artists adding their handprints alongside mine."

The singer will continue her Confessions world tour with a futher seven nights at Wembley Arena on August 3, 9, 12, 13, 15 and 16.
