Madonna's Daughter Lourdes To Perform On Madge's World Tour

Keeping It In The Family

Madonna's teenage daughter Lourdes will reportedly join the pop superstar on her upcoming world tour as a backing dancer.

The singer is preparing to hit the road later this year for a series of shows across the world, and 15-year-old Lourdes will appear with the star's team of backing dancers for a number of the concerts, according to the Mail on Sunday.

A source tells the publication: "Madonna is really excited about Lourdes making an appearance."

Lourdes previously joined her mother on stage during a gig in Israel in 2009 which marked the final show of her Sticky & Sweet tour.

The youngster also danced in the video for Madonna's Celebration track.

However, Lourdes can't completely rest assured that she will make it on to the stage every night - Madonna recently admitted she handed the teen a part in her film W.E., only for her part to end up on the cutting room floor.

She said: "There was a scene where she played Wally as a young girl. And I just kind of dragged her in at the last minute. It was quite unfair of me what I did and what I asked her to do.

"But she was really great and then I ended up cutting her out of the film. Ruthless, I know. I said, 'Sorry babe, you're on the cutting room floor.' She took it like a champ."

The new tour kicks off in Israel in May.
