Madonna’s Miraculous Recovery: From ICU to Stage in Two Months

Published

Last year, fans of the iconic pop star Madonna were left worried when a health crisis landed her in the ICU. The singer’s manager, Guy Oseary, disclosed on Instagram that Madonna was battling a “serious bacterial infection”. This health scare forced her to halt all her activities, including her ongoing “Celebration” tour. Fortunately, the “Like a Prayer” singer made a full recovery and resumed her tour a few months later in October 2023.

Madonna has recently opened up about her “near-death experience” and a profound conversation she believes she had with God.

During her first show at the Kia Forum arena in Los Angeles, Madonna shared the intensity of her health scare. She has faced numerous challenges in her life, including multiple injuries, “fallen off a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones” and even has a titanium hip.

“I mean, the list goes on and on, but nothing can stop me,” the pop star declared. She then delved into her recent frightening experience and the induced coma she was in for four days. Madonna revealed that the first word she uttered after waking up from the coma was “no.” According to her, this was in response to a question she heard God ask her while she was unconscious.

“I’m pretty sure that God was saying to me, ‘Do you wanna come with us? You wanna come with me? You wanna go this way?’ And I said, ‘No. No. No!'” Madonna shared on stage.

She expressed gratitude to her physician, David Agus, MD, who she said tolerated “so many entertaining phone calls.”

“When I was sick this summer and I literally couldn’t walk from my bed to the toilet, I would call him every other day and ask him why I didn’t have any energy. ‘When was my energy gonna come back? When was I gonna feel myself again? When could I go back on tour again?’ When, when, when, when, when, when, when?” Madonna recounted. “And all he would say was, ‘Go outside in the sun.'”

She followed Agus’ advice to soak up some vitamin D, which he assured her would help her kidneys function.

“I hate the sun, but I did it anyways and it was so hard for me to walk from my house to the backyard and sit in the sun,” Madonna confessed. “I know that sounds insane, but it was difficult and I didn’t know when I could get up again and when I could be myself again and when I would have my energy back. It was a strange thing to finally not feel like I was in control. And that was my lesson to let go.”

Madonna expressed her gratitude to everyone who cared for her during her illness. She was adamant about getting back on tour, even while still in the hospital. When Oseary asked when she planned to return to the stage, she boldly declared two months.

“I swear to God, I just said it. And sometimes you just gotta say [expletive], put that in the universe, and it happens,” she told the audience.

She thanked her children for their support, helping her to “pull through,” and expressed her determination not to let them or her fans down.

“I just set a date and that date became a reality,” the pop legend said. “And I didn’t wanna disappoint my fans. I never do.”
