  • The Primal Scream frontman said Israel 'pay very very well' to perform in Tel Aviv 

Madonna has wowed fans after posting a picture of herself in her Eurovision dressing room before taking to the stage in Israel last night.

Thousands of the singer's Instagram followers liked the snap of her posing in a lacy bra and fishnets as she sits poised to deliver a performance to the Tel Aviv crowd.

Their show of support will buoy the pop star who has come under fierce criticism from Bobby Gillespie who branded Madonna a 'total prostitute' who is 'desperate for publicity'.  

The Primal Scream frontman attacked the US singer for choosing to perform in Tel Aviv as it helps to 'normalise the state of Israel'.

The lead singer also said the state sits on 'stolen land' and he believes 'in the rights of the Palestinian people'.

But when confronted about his seemingly anti-Semitic views he claimed all his heroes are Jewish - including Karl Marx and Bob Dylan on his list. 

Speaking to Kirsty Wark on Newsnight, Gillespie said: 'Madonna would do anything for money, you know, she's a total prostitute.

'And I've got nothing against prostitutes. The whole thing is set up to normalise the state of Israel, and its disgraceful treatment of the Palestinian people.

Gillespie strongly criticised the US singer for choosing to perform in Tel Aviv as it helps to 'normalise the stated of Israel'

'By going to perform in Israel what you do is you normalise that.

'Primal Scream would never perform in Israel.

'I think Madonna is just desperate for publicity, desperate for the money.

He added: 'They pay very, very well.'

When asked whether he understood his comments could be seen as anti-Semitic, he said: 'I believe in the rights of the Palestinian people. I'm not anti-Semitic at all. All my heroes are Jews. Karl Marx, Bob Dylan, The Marx Brothers.'

Representatives of Madonna have been contacted for comment.
