Madonna has shed light on the difficulties of having a long-distance marriage on a new album track.

The pop icon has spent most of the last six months separated from husband Guy Ritchie and sings about the problems on her new album Hard Candy.

On the track 'Miles Away', Madonna sings: "You love me more miles apart...I love you, but we are at our best miles away...When you are gone you realise I'm the best thing that happened to you."

The 49-year-old was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday and witnessed rock veterans Iggy and the Stooges pay tribute to her by performing 'Burning Up' and 'Ray of Light'.

Madonna was handed her award by Justin Timberlake, who noted: "The world is full of Madonna wannabes. I might have even dated a couple."
