The Year of Madge continues. After sending queers everywhere into overdrive announcing her 40th-anniversary Celebration tour Madonna just announced another huge new project. The Vogue singer, 64, will be re-releasing her classic American Life album in honor of the album’s 20th anniversary.
This exclusive 8-track EP will honor the life and work of Peter Rauhofer. The beloved Austrian-American DJ, remixer and producer passed away after a long battle with brain cancer in 2013.
