Madonna Performs Live On Paris Street To Honor Victims Who Died During The Terror Attacks; Sings Songs With Son David

Madonna and her son David sang together in an impromptu performance on the streets of Paris on Wednesday. The two sang to different songs which included a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" -- their simple way to honor the victims of the November 13 attacks in the city, a report from E! Online said.

The Queen of Pop and her 10-year-old son wore furry hooded jackets as they performed along the Paris' Place de la Republique. It was a very chilly night but they were unaware of the cold as they sang while Monte Pittman played the guitar. As they performed, several passersby also sang along. They also sang Madonna's hits such as "Like a Prayer" and "Ghosttown," a new song from her new album Rebel Heart. Everyone was emotional especially the Material Girl herself as she was seen wiping away her tears and hugging her son.  

ISIS terrorists, which included several gunmen and suicide bombers, killed 130 people in the city. The attacks occurred in several locations such as a concert hall, restaurants and a football arena in the French capital. Madonna was in Sweden at the time the attacks in Paris happened and it was there she broke down crying as she honored the victims as well as their families with a speech.

Madonna's impromptu performance was caught on video by numerous passersby and residents as well as her manager Guy Oseary.

"Everybody knows why we're here. We just want to sing a few songs about peace, just to spread love and joy and to pay our honor and respect to the people who died almost four weeks ago," she mentioned to the crowd. "And to spread light...we all need it."

Madonna performed a concert at the AccorHotels Arena earlier Wednesday. This is a part of her world tour to promote her new album Rebel Heart. Her next performance is on Thursday.

She also posted on her Instagram account that she will be singing at the Place de la Republique and invited Paris to sing with her. She later uploaded more pictures and a caption that said "Tonight was magic!! Thank You Paris."
