Priest arrested for bomb threat at Madonna concert
Priest called in threat to stop crucifixion scene.
Amsterdam prosecutors charged a priest for making threats during a Madonna concert last week, according to the Associated Press. The 63-year-old priest has confessed to phoning in a fake bomb threat during the concert last week.
"He was hoping to stop her from performing her famous 'crucifixion' act," prosecution spokesman Robert Meulenbroek said, referring to a scene in the 48-year-old pop star's latest show, according to the AP.
Meulenbroek said prosecutors will likely advocate for a community service punishment for the priest over jail time.
"We take bomb threats seriously, but in this case it was clear very quickly that it was not real," he said.
"Maybe he should have to learn all her lyrics by heart" as punishment, he quipped.
