Just like a prayer, Madonna knew God was there when she was hospitalized in the ICU with a “serious bacterial infection” in June.
The “Material Girl” singer recalled the “near-death experience” at her sold-out Los Angeles show on Monday night, and told fans that her first word coming out of an induced coma after four days was “no,” according to People.
“I’m pretty sure that was God saying to me, ‘Do you want to come? Want to come up with me? No,’ Madonna said.
The pop icon was forced to reschedule a number of dates on her Celebration World Tour in June due to a medical issue.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead (sic) to a several day stay in the ICU,” her longtime manager Guy Oseary wrote on Instagram at the time. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”
Madonna previously canceled a string of shows on her last tour in 2019, due to a knee injury, and ultimately ended the tour early.
