More than a million people flocked to Brazil’s Copacabana beach, turning its vast stretch of sand into a massive dancefloor for a free concert by Madonna as she completed her world tour.

In the run-up to the concert, the city had been buzzing, with fans lined up outside the stately Copacabana Palace hotel in hope of catching a glimpse of the star.
The city’s airport fielded an estimated 170 extra flights as fans poured in from around the world and approximately 1.6 million people turned up for the concert, some watching from brightly lit apartments or hotels overlooking the beach, while others looked on from motorboats and sailboats anchored nearby.

Guys, that was last Saturday May 4th! What does the 7 hours ago byline you printed with the headline refer to? Does it mean the Entertainment Editor was on vacation, returned and found it in her/his inbox and posted it 7 hours ago or do you think this happened 7 hours ago, they meant 7 days right? Please clarify what the timeline refers to that you put beside each article. It is relevant for us to understand current events timing about the news we read even if it's about the world's talented icon who's given us sooo many good stories to music and yes it's news, a free concert. I paid e950, per seat for 2 in November for first row balcony in Lisboa so many are interested and you do great follow-ups like where she stayed "Pestana" and the restaurants she ate at, fun to know but please check your dates, thanks.
