Madonna, the singer, has revealed via Instagram that she has moved to Portugal and is working on new music and a movie she previously announced.
“The energy of Portugal is so inspiring,” the 59-year-old legend wrote. “I feel very creative and alive here and I look forward to working on my film “Loved” and making new music!!! will be the next Chapter in My Book!”
A representative for the singer said that she fell in love with Portugal after ending a tour in the southern European country in 2004.
“Loved” is Madonna’s first directorial effort since 2011’s W.E., which explored King Edward VIII’s abdication of the throne to be with American divorcée Wallis Simpson. Her new project is an adaptation of Andrew Sean Greer’s novel “The Impossible Lives” of Greta Wells.
Madonna’s forthcoming music project will be her first since the release of Rebel Heart, her 13th studio album, in March 2015. A live DVD and CD album of the Rebel Heart tour is due September 15.
Since wrapping the worldwide jaunt in March 2016, Madonna has been focusing on her family.
The superstar adopted 4½-year-old twins Estere and Stella in February, and has four older children, Lourdes, 20, Rocco, 17, David, 11, and Mercy James, 11 — the latter two of whom were also adopted from Malawi.
The “Living for Love” singer in July opened a new pediatric surgery centre in the southeast African nation and helped raise $30 million in one night at the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s fourth annual fundraising gala in St. Tropez, France, according to media reports.
