Madonna will perform at the Eurovision finals in Tel Aviv, the European Broadcasting Union has confirmed.

Expected to cost about $1 million, Madonna’s appearance at the May 18 show will be funded by Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams, who said he wanted to bring the superstar to Tel Aviv “to try to add a little bit of glitz to the event”.

The singer is expected to perform two songs, a hit single and a new track.

Rumours of Madonna’s involvement in Eurovision have been circulating for months.
