Madonna started her “Celebration Tour” on October 14 last year. So far, she has played over 50 concerts out of eighty planned events. The tour will end on April 25, 2024. Initially, it was not known whether the star would be able to return to the stage at all – all because of a “serious bacterial infection” that attacked her in June last year. The singer was then admitted to the ICU, and it was difficult to say what the future awaited her.
The immediate family was preparing for the worst, but Madonna managed to fight the bacterial infection and recover. It cost her a lot of work with the best specialists. During a recent concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, she told fans that she was really terrified of her condition – she was afraid it was the end of her. Madonna couldn’t even get from bed to the toilet on her own. “I didn’t know when I would be able to get up again and when I would be able to be myself again,” she added. “It was a strange feeling when I didn’t feel in control. It was my lesson to let go,” she explained.
Due to the uncertain prognosis, the star was put into an induced coma for four days. According to her personal assistant, the 65-year-old pop queen’s first words after waking up were a short: “No.” She told the fans gathered at the concert who strongly supported her in these difficult moments that it was supposed to be a response to God, whose presence she felt. “And I’m pretty sure God said to me, ‘Do you want to come with us? Do you want to come with me? Do you want to go this way? And I said, ‘No, no,'” she said.
The doctor, however, received public thanks David Agus, who helped the star get back on his feet. “I called him every other day and asked why I had no energy, when my energy would come back, when I would feel like myself again, when I could go back on the road,” the singer recalled. “He just said: ‘Go out in the sun, you need vitamin D and your kidneys will work,'” she allegedly heard from him.
