Beyonce goofs around backstage with Madonna, Rihanna and Alicia Keys at launch of hubby Jay Z's new streaming service


Several of music's biggest stars aligned to launch new music streaming service Tidal which is the brainchild of Jay Z.
And though there is serious money at stake that didn't stop the rapper's wife Beyonce from having a bit of fun with a few of her famous friends.
The 33-year-old singer was spotted backstage at the #TIDALforALL event on Monday having some fun with Rihanna, Madonna, Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj among many others.

The launch for the service being billed as the first artist-owned platform for music and video was held at the Skylight Moynihan Station in New York City.
Beyonce had cuddled up next to legendary singer Madonna, 56, as Rihanna, 27, wrapped her arms around 34-year-old Alicia as they posed for a fun snap together.
The fun did not end there as the Drunk In Love hitmaker put on her best funny face with Alicia and 32-year-old rapper Nicki Minaj.

Other big names at the event included Usher, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, Jack White and Jason Aldean, who were all on hand to launch as they stood side-by-side onstage as a sign of solidarity during the event.
The subcription service, unlike rivals Spotify, will not have a free tier - meaning the musicians stand to make more money from it.
Alicia Keys called the event 'a graduation' as she took the stage at the gala.
