July 6th 2024.
It's been a year since Madonna faced a life-threatening illness and she took some time to reflect on her journey in a recent post on social media. The Queen of Pop expressed her gratitude for life and all its blessings as she celebrated her return home after a shocking hospitalization. In June of 2023, the Like a Virgin hitmaker was rushed to the ICU due to a serious bacterial infection that caused concern among her loved ones and fans. She was even forced to postpone her highly-anticipated Celebration Tour while she was put into an induced coma to aid in her recovery.
Thankfully, Madonna was able to return home in early July to continue her healing process, surrounded by her supportive children. She has previously stated that it is nothing short of a miracle that she is still here today, as she struggled to even walk around her own home at first. Now, on the one-year anniversary of her hospital release, she took to Instagram to share her joy and gratitude with her fans. Along with a series of photos of her celebrating the 4th of July in a red jumpsuit, Madonna wrote in the caption, "A year ago today, I could barely stand in my backyard holding one sparkler after surviving a life-threatening illness. But now, I have made a miraculous recovery and had an amazing year. Thank you, God. Life is truly beautiful."
Her fans were quick to show their support and love in the comments, with one fan writing, "Words can't express how scared we were to lose you. Thank God indeed! More power to you, fantastic artistic mother." Another added, "And wow, what a comeback with an amazing concert. Incredible resilience. I hope you are looking after yourself and thriving." The outpouring of love and support from her fans is a true testament to the impact Madonna has had on the music industry and her fans' lives.
In March of this year, Madonna gave a heartfelt speech to her fans, reflecting on her journey since being found unresponsive. She shared, "When I woke up, the first word I said was 'No.' Anyway, that's what my assistant tells me. And 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!'" She also opened up about her decision to get back on track with her tour after her recovery. "When [my manager Guy Oseary] said, 'Well, when do you think you wanna go back on tour?' I took the oxygen out of my nose, I looked at him, and I said, 'In two f***ing months!' I swear to God, I just said it. And sometimes you just gotta say s**t, put that out in the universe, and it happens."
Madonna's world tour, which covered her four-decade-long career, kicked off in October of last year and concluded in May with a historic free concert that drew a staggering 1.6 million people to Rio's Copacabana beach. This tour also earned her the title of the highest-grossing worldwide tour of 2024, according to live music publication Pollstar. Despite its successes, the tour was not without its complications. Two concertgoers filed lawsuits against Madonna for showing up late to her show, which she has defended as being due to technical issues. Another fan also filed a lawsuit, claiming they were "subjected to pornography without warning" during the concert.
