Madonna has confirmed she is to perform with members of Gogol Bordello.

As previously reported on NME.COM it was rumoured the band would play with the pop queen after they pulled their performance at T In The Park so some members of the band could perform at Live Earth.

Now it has been confirmed that band members Eugene Hutz and Sergey Ryabtsey are to perform with the singer when she plays Wembley Stadium on Saturday (July 7).

In a new statement the band said: “Due to timings of their performance at T In The Park, and recent events, it was not possible to do both in one day, as a result Gogol Bordello have had to cancel their set at T In The Park, and apologise to their Scottish fans. With one member of Gogol Bordello, Elizabeth Sun, hailing from Scotland, they value their support. ”

The band are still scheduled to perform at Oxegen Festival on the Sunday (July 8).

Gogol Bordello are planning to make up for any disappointment that their fans may feel following this cancellation.

Madonna sings “Like a Virgin”? at the VMAs
Before the Sex book, the burning crosses, the Britney-Christina three-way and African adoptions, Madge was just a 26-year-old girl in a wedding dress. Performing her first No. 1 hit at MTV’s inaugural Video Music Awards, she danced on a 10-foot wedding cake in a veil, garters and her infamous “Boy Toy”? belt, then descended to the stage for a bout of simulated masturbation. The ensuing media firestorm taught her valuable career-defining lessons: Sex sells, and controversy is fun. It also cemented her relationship with MTV and set the bar for countless outrageous VMA moments to follow not a few of which also involved Madonna.
Unintended consequence: Diana Ross boob-jiggles Lil’ Kim

Pop superstar Madonna could be set for a cameo on cult animated show The Simpsons – if creator Matt Groening gets his way.
The cartoon genius is desperate for the singer to star in his series, following the likes of recent celebrity guest stars Britney Spears, Mel Gibson, Stephen Hawking, Sir Elton John and Dolly Parton.
Groening says, “We would love her to do the show. She’s one of the people we haven’t been able to get yet.” He also revealed plans for a Prison Break episode in the near future “with tattoos and everything!”
