Madonna's press representative has declared the star's 45 minute Paris show, which saw fans calling the star a 'sl*t' and calling for their money to be returned, a huge success.

Fans were furious this week when the singer's show in the French capital finished early, with fans hurling empty bottles onto the empty stage after Madonna had left the venue. Fans had paid between 80 and 280 Euros to see the show, which was streamed live on YouTube.

Now, however, Madonna's representative has said that the show was a huge success.

"Madonna's Paris club show was planned as her heartfelt thank-you to France, which she expressed at the start of her show," said Liz Rosenberg, the star's spokeswoman, reports MTV.

"Despite her gruelling concert tour, she desperately wanted to perform for her fans in an intimate setting at the historic Olympia as a means to honour her love for French artists, French cinema and a tribute to France's long history of welcoming and inspiring artists, authors, painters, poets and minorities from other countries over the years."

"The show was not billed as her full 'MDNA' concert and tremendous effort was made to keep the ticket prices reasonable ($100 for 2,000 floor seats) and keep them strictly to her fans. The show cost Madonna close to a million dollars to produce. She has done a handful of club dates in the past and they were never more than 45 minutes."

"And by the way, she put on a fabulous show, which was streamed for millions of fans around the world."
