Mcdonna doesn't reveal why she is in overwhelming pain. I'm sure her new show isn't filled with other 61 year old dancers, so keeping up (late) night after night with this elaborate show can't be as easy on her physical body anymore. The real thing is - Mcdonna needs an elaborate stage show with alot of smoke n mirrors in order to tour, & to justify her outrageous ticket prices. She is incapable of cutting all the crap & just touring acoustic simply with stool, microphone & a small band, thus giving herself & her fans a much needed break from all that clutter.....
