But fans seemed more fixated on Madonna's 'swollen' face as she took to the stage at London's Twickenham Stadium on Saturday night.
Within moments of the 54-year-old musician appearing in front of a crowd of thousands, audience members took to Twitter to slam her somewhat puffy-faced look as she presented a segment of the charity gig.
Speculation: Fans took to Twitter on Saturday
night to comment on Madonna's 'swollen' face as she appeared on stage at
the Sound Of Change concert
Wearing her honey blonde locks pulled back from her face, the music legend's facial features were clear to see.
One fan wrote on Twitter: 'Madonna, please stop messing with your face. It used to be a lovely face and now it's looking weird.'
Another added: 'Omg Madonna WTF her face is swollen!'

And although fans seemed thrilled to see the superstar support such a worthwhile cause, some admitted they were a little distracted by her puffy-faced appearance.
One wrote: 'Brava Madonna at #Chime for speaking out (I'm trying not to be distracted by how much work she's had on her face).'
Another added: 'Madonna looks absolutely ridiculous these days. Why on earth would anyone want to do THAT to their face?'
Outcry: Fans took to Twitter in their droves to express their concern
But it didn't seem as though the star cared too much about her appearance as she received a rapturous applause from the packed-out stadium as she called on her fans to start a 'revolution of love'.
She said: 'I keep telling people I want to start a revolution, but my revolution doesn't involve bloodshed and violence. My revolution starts with education. My revolution is about achieving a higher level of consciousness, but this cannot start without education.
'We cannot change this world, nor begin to treat each other with human dignity, without an education. Let tonight be the beginning of this revolution because education is not a luxury, it is a basic human right.
