Madonna gets emotional as she opens up about surviving a bacterial infection

While Madonna was performing last night in Berlin as part of her Celebration Tour she became very emotional on stage as she opened up to fans about her recent health scare.

The tour was originally postponed due to the singer being hospitalised for a serious bacterial infection.

“Less than four months ago, I was in the hospital and I was unconscious and people were thinking, predicting that I might not make it,” she told the audience.

She continued: “It’s a f***ing 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.”

The star's mother died of breast cancer when the star was only 5 years old: “I had this strange thought. I suddenly had sympathy for my mother, not about the dying part but how lonely she must have felt being in hospital, knowing that she wasn’t going to live,” she said. “And I was given another chance, so I’m very grateful for that. I must tell you that I don’t feel very well right now, but I can’t complain, because I’m alive. Thank god for my children and all of your love and support.”

A video posted to X also showed the singer admitting she did not feel well during her performance in Berlin.
