Madonna has revealed she was ‘dragged’ to the hospital after ‘passing out on the bathroom floor’.
The legendary American singer, 65, is currently in the middle of her worldwide tour which is expected to run for 78 shows, coming to an end in April 2024.
Part of the tour had to be rescheduled after the Like A Prayer singer was found unresponsive at home and was rushed to the ICU following a bacterial infection.
Speaking live on stage at the Barclays Center in New York on Saturday, Madonna said it’s a ‘miracle’ she’s still alive and paid credit to an unnamed woman in the audience.
The superstar singer said: ‘The fact that I’m here right now is the f*****g miracle. There are some people in this room tonight that were with me in the hospital.
‘There is one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital… I passed out on my bathroom floor and I woke up in the ICU.’

Madonna – who is a doting mum to Lourdes, 27, Rocco, 23, David Banda, 18, Mercy James, 17, and 10-year-old twins Stella and Estere – made her comeback to the stage just months after she initially took ill and her children are said to still be wary of her health.
A source told UsWeekly last month: ‘Madonna’s kids didn’t want her to push herself too soon, but they know music is her passion and that she was determined to go on tour. They trust that she’s listening to her body and will be taking things easy if need be.’

It had been said in October that the A-lister was still ‘not feeling very well’ and that she hadn’t quite recovered to ‘100%’ before embarking on the ambitious tour.
Speaking to an audience in Belgium, she said she had been ‘given another chance’ and thanked her children and her fans for their support in recent weeks.
Her children have been joining her at various stages during the tour, with five of them joining her on stage at London’s O2 Arena back in mid-October.
David, who is one of Madonna’s adopted sons, greeted the crowd during one of the shows as the True Blue singer paid tribute to his biological mother.
‘It’s such an honour for me to not only perform with my children every night on the stage but also pay tribute to his mother and hopefully everyone’s mother,’ she said.
