Madonna reveals her joy at being single

Madonna apparently told fans that she was "glad" to be single during a ten-minute Twitter session this week.

Producer Guy Oseary wrote on the online networking site that he was sitting with the singer and said that she was available for a quick chat with her supporters.

When a fan wrote: "Hello Madonna honey am glad you are single again - you made your best music as a single woman," Madonna's apparent reply stated: "Not as glad as I am."

The 50-year-old also thanked fan club members for their comments on her planned greatest hits album before the brief session came to an end.

Madonna and film director Guy Ritchie announced that they were ending their eight-year marriage last October.
