Madonna: 'I can show my ass when I’m 56, 66 or 76'

Madonna believes she has every right to "show her ass" to the public regardless of her age.

The singer turned heads at the Grammy Awards in February by showing off her backside to the cameras on the red carpet.

This prompted criticism - partly due to her age - but the 56-year-old told the New York Daily News that those offended are being both sexist and ageist.

Madonna said: "I take care of myself. I’m in good shape. I can show my ass when I’m 56, or 66 - or 76.

"Who’s to say when I can show my ass? It’s sexism. It’s ageism. And it’s a kind of discrimination."

Referring to criticism, the Queen of Pop added: "I’m only human.

"I’d like to get to the point where nothing can shake me. Sometimes I’m there, sometimes I’m not."

Madonna meanwhile released her new album 'Rebel Heart' today (March 9) in the UK.
