After being released from the hospital, Madonna is reflecting on her “miraculous recovery” one year later. Madonna had been hospitalized in July 2023 after she went into near-fatal septic shock. She has now opened up about her experience and expressed gratitude for getting her life back.
Madonna expresses her thoughts after life-threatening septic shock
Madonna took to Instagram on Friday to reflect on her hospitalization last year. The iconic pop star shared that she had just returned home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness and could barely stand in her backyard while holding a sparkler.
The Vogue icon wrote: “Happy 4th of July! A year ago today, I had just come home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness. I could barely stand in my backyard holding one sparkler.”
Madonna posted photos from her Fourth of July celebrations, including several snapshots of herself cuddling with a mystery man, one of which showed him grabbing her chest. This was two months after reports broke out concerning their split.
She continued: “I made a miraculous recovery and had an amazing year. Thank you, God. Life is beautiful!”
Madonna thanked all her fans for their positive energy, prayers, and words of healing and encouragement as soon as she got home.
According to Page Six, the queen of pop was discharged from the ICU in July 2023 after being found unconscious at her New York City residence. It was later disclosed that she had gone into septic shock and was ‘lifeless’ before being revived using Narcan.
Her manager confirmed that she had fallen ill due to a serious bacterial infection, and Madonna was found unresponsive before being taken to the ICU.
Madonna didn’t want to disappoint fans for cancelling concerts due to hospitalization
Reflecting on her Celebration tour, the superstar also admitted not wanting to let down ticket buyers or employees who spent months preparing for this show; besides saying how grateful everyone involved should feel towards life itself.
Madonna posted on Instagram, “My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappointment anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.”
Madonna’s sudden illness in July 2023 led to the postponement of the North American leg of her world tour, which had been scheduled to start on July 15th in Vancouver, Canada. Despite efforts to keep things on track, health concerns necessitated rebooking the tour dates. London’s O2 arena finally witnessed the commencement of her Celebration world tour, marking four decades in show business.
She played her last show in Brazil in May and is now being sued by a fan for showing concertgoers NSFW content without warning.
