Madonna's tour crew on verge of quitting - Tabloid Hell

Madonna's on tour staff are reportedly close to quitting after being put up in a cheap hotel and travelling on a budget airline while the singer stays in luxury.

The star's workers are staying in the £50-per-night Campanile Hotel in France, while Madonna and her family were booked into a luxurious 11th century chateau at £11,000 per night.

Madonna also travelled in by private jet, while her staff flew to Nice on budget airline Easyjet.

According to the Daily Mirror an insider said: "Everyone is furious with her and some of them want to walk out of the tour. They feel they are being treated like second-class citizens, despite all their hard work over the last few months."

The singer had 12 staff members staying with her at the chateau including a personal chef, chiropractor, plus a six-strong beauty team and masseur.

Madonna had a helicopter to take her from the chateau to her Nice dates.
