Madonna is opening up about her health scare during her latest concert in Belgium, as part of her Celebration Tour. The iconic singer shared her thoughts with the audience on Saturday night, revealing that it is a “miracle” to be performing for her fans, and showing her appreciation after going through a full recovery.
The 65-year-old got emotional while opening up about how she felt during the difficult moment. “Less than four months ago, I was in the hospital and I was unconscious and people were thinking, predicting that I might not make it,” she said to her fans. “It’s a f—ing miracle that I’m here right now.”

“I had this strange thought. I suddenly had sympathy for my mother, not about the dying part but how lonely she must have felt being in hospital, knowing that she wasn’t going to live,” she concluded. “And I was given another chance, so I’m very grateful for that. I must tell you that I don’t feel very well right now, but I can’t complain, because I’m alive. Thank god for my children and all of your love and support.”
