Madonna is dishing out the juicy details of her brush with the great beyond last year.
Picture it: Madonna, in all her glory, takes the stage for her L.A. leg of the Celebration Tour, ready to entertain the masses. But before she gets into the groove, she decides to spill the tea on the bacterial invasion that crashed her party last year, forcing her to hit pause on the whole tour shindig.
“This gig ain’t no cakewalk. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions ’cause I’m laying it all out for you. My life, the highs, the lows, the epic fails. I’ve taken a tumble or two, broken more bones than I can count, but hey, here I am, still kickin’,” Madonna declares to the crowd at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Then comes the bombshell revelation: the first thing she uttered upon regaining consciousness after a four-day induced siesta was a resounding “NO!”
“I’m pretty sure the Big Guy upstairs was like, ‘Hey, you wanna join me up here?’ And I was like, ‘Nah, not today, buddy!’” Madonna chuckles.
And as if that weren’t enough drama, one of Madonna’s docs decided to crash the party to spill some medical tea.
“I’m hounding this poor doctor of mine every other day, asking why I feel like a deflated balloon, when’s my mojo making a comeback, when can I hit the road again? And all he’s got for me is, ‘Go soak up some Vitamin D, Madge.’ It was like pulling teeth to drag myself from the couch to the backyard. I mean, have you ever tried walking when your get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went? It’s brutal!” Madonna quips. “But hey, I learned to surrender control, which for a control freak like me, is a real hoot.”
And what’s her secret weapon in this battle for health and glory? Her kids, of course!
“Those little rascals are the real MVPs. They cracked the whip, and I had no choice but to get back in the game. So, I set a date, and dammit, I made it happen,” Madonna proudly admits.
So fear not! The queen of pop is back on her throne, strutting her stuff on tour ’til late April. Bow down! 🙌
