Madonna Reveals She Was In An Induced Coma For Two Days Following Infection

Pop singer Madonna is sharing details about her recent hospitalization due to a bacterial infection.

She opened up about her June illness that landed her in the intensive care unit to a crowd in Brooklyn for her Celebration concert tour, saying she was in an induced coma for 48 hours. 

Madonna then thanked her Kabbalah teacher, who was at her side at the hospital and gave a shoutout to her friend Shavawn, whom Madonna credited with saving her life by rushing her to the hospital. 

“There are some very important people in the room tonight that were with me at the hospital,” the singer said. “There’s one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital. I don’t even remember; I passed out on my bathroom floor and woke up in the ICU … She saved my life.”

Madonna also talked about her six children, saying that she saw her kids in the first moments coming out of her coma.

“There were a couple of things I thought about when I first became conscious and I saw my six incredible children sitting around me — by the way, I had to almost die to get all my kids in one room,” she said.

Madonna kicked off the U.S. leg of her tour last week.
