In a post on social media, the pop icon revealed that she was hospitalized after battling a “severe bacterial infection” that led to her falling into a coma and being admitted to intensive care. “One year ago today, I just got home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness,” Madonna wrote. “I could barely stand in my backyard with one sparkler in my hand. I made a miraculous recovery and have had an amazing year. Thank you God. Life is beautiful!” While the exact details of Madonna’s health crisis remain unknown, her family members have revealed that they initially “prepared for the worst” when she fell ill. Madonna has since made a full recovery, but was forced to postpone her US shows on ‘The Celebration Tour’ last year and embarked on the trek in Europe instead. During a performance in New York in December, Madonna revealed that she “passed out on the floor of my bathroom and woke up in intensive care.” She also explained that it felt like “a f—ing miracle” to be able to continue her tour after her hospital stay, and ridiculed the situation by saying she “almost had to die” to get all six of her children in the same room. Following the postponed US dates earlier this year, Madonna kicked off the highly anticipated ‘Celebration’ tour with a series of dates in the UK and Europe. This included multiple sold-out performances at The O2 in London, which received a five-star review from NME describing the opening concert as a show with “a series of spectacular sets that reference iconic highlights from Madonna’s period”. Madonna responded to the health crisis in London, telling her fans she “didn’t think I could make it”.
