Singer MADONNA reveals she is currently unwell; says it’s a ‘miracle’ she survived her bacterial infection

 

Monday, October 23, 2023 – Pop queen, Madonna has revealed she is currently feeling unwell again just seven days into her 78-date world tour after a bacterial infection forced her to reschedule her concert series.

During her concert on at Antwerp, Belgium over the weekend, the Queen of Pop, 65, became emotional as she recounted the health ordeal that landed her in the hospital and left her unconscious.

She also reflected on her mother, Madonna Louise Ciccone, who passed from breast cancer at age 33.

I had this strange thought,’ she said in a clip tweeted by a fan who attended her Celebration Tour on Saturday. ‘I suddenly had sympathy and empathy for my mother,’ she said, placing her hand on her chest and exhaling deeply.

‘About how lonely she must have felt in the hospital, knowing that she wasn’t going to live. And I was given another chance.’

She added, ‘So I’m very grateful for that.’

‘I must tell you, I don’t feel very well right now. But I can’t complain because I’m alive,’ she added. ‘Thank God for my children and all of you, and all of your love and support. I really appreciate it.’

She also said it was a ‘f**king miracle’ she survived the ordeal.

‘Less than four months ago I was in a hospital, and I was unconscious and people were thinking – predicting — that I might not make it,’ she told the audience in another clip posted by the fan.

‘It’s a f**king miracle that I’m here right now. My mother, God bless her, she must be watching over me, she said, “Girl, it’s not your time to go.”‘

Madonna had been forced to reschedule her shows after she was rushed to the ICU and intubated when she was found slumped on the floor of her New York City apartment in June.

Her family, who rushed to her bedside, were said to have been ‘preparing for the worst’ and ‘feared we may lose her’.

She kicked off her Celebration tour earlier this month at the O2 Arena in London.

Madonna’s long-awaited tour is set to continue in the coming months and into 2024.

She will continue to travel throughout the UK and Europe until December, with several dates already sold-out.

The North American leg of her tour will begin in December, kicking off in Brooklyn. Her April 2024 shows in Mexico City have already sold-out.
