NEW YORK - Backing away from a confrontation with religious groups, NBC said Thursday it has decided not to show pictures of Madonna mounting a Crucifix when it airs a concert special with the pop star next month.
The concert, which lists Madonna as an executive producer, is scheduled to air Nov. 22.
During the provocative passage in her concert, Madonna is shown on a mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns. She has explained that it was meant to illustrate a theme of confession.
But this angered some religious leaders, who called it a bad-taste publicity stunt.
