Sand from the famous beach where Madonna held a mega-concert is being flogged online.

The pop idol’s free concert on the Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, attracted more than 1.6million fans.

The 65-year-old called the city the “most beautiful place in the world” as her performance kicked off two weeks ago.

Bizarrely, plastic bags full of sand said to be from Copacabana Beach are now being flogged as collectibles, as reported on Need To Know.

They have a homemade label stuck on the front with a low-res photo of the stage where the Queen of Pop belted out her hits

The plain-looking text on the label reads “The Celebration Tour in Rio, Madonna 2024, Rio de Janeiro.”

The bags of sand are apparently being sold by informal vendors and are not part of the tour’s official merchandise.

The ad where they are being flogged reportedly says: “This is an exclusive collectible item from Madonna’s tour in Rio de Janeiro.

“It is a perfect addition to any collection of souvenirs and travel memories.”

The bags are on sale for a whopping $8.99 (£7.10) apiece and each one contains 30 grams (1.1 oz) of sand.

Bizarrely, they sold like hotcakes and only eight were left at the time of reporting, according to local media.

Other items being flogged on the back of the mega-gig include freebies given to passengers by Azul Brazilian Airlines on Rio-bound flights on the day of the show.
