At a recent Brooklyn show, Madonna expressed gratitude to her lucky stars and some very important people. She also took a minute to reflect on her hospital stay in June, admitting that she had been placed in “an induced coma.”
According to video from a show this weekend on her “Celebration” globe tour that was uploaded on X (previously Twitter), Madonna stated, “There are some very important people in this room tonight that were with me in the hospital.”
“There’s one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital,” she said further. I can’t even recall. I slept on my bathroom floor and awoke in the intensive care unit.
“She kept me alive,” Madonna continued.
The “Vogue” singer praised her Kabbalah teacher for supporting her during the trauma and disclosed that she had been in a “induced coma” for 48 hours.
She remarked, “I heard only his voice.” “That’s it, I heard him say, squeeze my hand.”
She quipped that she “almost had to die” to see all of her children in one room when she woke up and remarked, “I saw my six incredible children around me.”
Madonna is the mother of two children: filmmaker Guy Ritchie’s son, Rocco Ritchie, and daughter Lourdes Leon, who is shared with Carlos Leon. In addition, she is the mother of four adopted children: the twins Stella and Estere, David Banda, and Chifundo “Mercy” James.
Guy O’Seary, Madonna’s longtime manager and friend, revealed in June that the singer was in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to a “serious bacterial infection.” The pop icon was discharged from the hospital a few days later, according to a later CNN report, and began to heal at home.
After delaying the start of her “Celebration” tour while she recovered, she finally launched it in London in October.
During the premiere performance, Madonna declared, “Neither my doctors nor I thought I was going to make it.”
“I had to be there for my kids,’ I reasoned, if you’re interested in learning my secret and learning how I survived. “I must live for them,” she remarked at that moment.
