Madonna's late concert lawsuit dismissed

The plaintiffs accused Madonna of false advertising due to a two-hour delay at her December 13th show in Brooklyn.

A lawsuit filed against Madonna regarding the late start times of her Celebration World Tour concerts has been dropped by the plaintiffs, Michael Fellows and Jason Alvarez. The dismissal comes after the plaintiffs accused the pop star of "false advertising" due to a two-hour delay at her December 13th show in Brooklyn.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Wednesday, June 19., the lawsuit, which was filed by plaintiffs Michael Fellows and Jason Alvarez against the singer, sent a notice of a “voluntary dismissal with prejudice.”

Attorney Jeff Warshafsky sent a letter asserting that the dismissal was not due to a settlement and that the defendants disagree with the notion that each party should cover their own legal fees.

The letter accuses the plaintiffs of filing a "frivolous strike suit" intended to force Madonna and Live Nation to incur legal expenses. It states that the lawsuit was abandoned when it became clear that a settlement payment wouldn't be forthcoming.

Warshafsky further indicated that the defendants reserve the right to seek sanctions, attorney's fees, and costs due to a previous "Notice of Settlement" filed by the plaintiffs that the court struck down as false.

This is not the only lawsuit Madonna has faced over late concert starts. Another fan, Justen Lipeles, filed a separate suit alleging that the singer and Live Nation deliberately misled concertgoers about start times for her California shows. Lipeles' suit also raises concerns about "uncomfortable temperatures" and allegedly explicit content during the performances.
