Madonna’s Injury Causes Her To Cancel Last Show In North American Tour

Madonna’s doctor has ordered her to cancel the last North American concert of her Madame X Tour because of her injury. 

This past tuesday, the 61-year-old pop legend explained to her fans on Instagram about this pain that has been bothering her in recent performances. In a video showing a specific moment in her show where she ascends a ladder, she wrote that the moves left her in tears. 

“As I climbed the ladder to sing Batuka On Saturday night in Miami I was in tears from the pain of my injuries, Which has been indescribable for the past few days,” she wrote on Instagram. “With every song I sang, I said a prayer that I would make it to the next and get thru the show. My prayers were answered, And I made it.”

The singer continued her tour after cancelling a few concerts this month due to “overwhelming pain”. She has admitted to pushing through pain but now she needs to be more careful in order to avoid irrecoverable injuries.

“I consider myself a warrior I never quit, I never give in, I never give up!!” she continued. “However this time I have to listen to my body And accept that my pain is a warning I want to say how deeply sorry I am to all my fans. For having to cancel my last show.” 

Madonna’s concert in Miami was her last one on the North American part of the tour however, She is still scheduled to perform in Europe from January to March. 

“I spent the last two days with doctors Scans, ultra sounds, Xrays Poking and probing and more tears,” she wrote. “They have made it very clear to me that if l am to continue my tour — I must rest for as long as possible so that I don’t inflict further and Irreversible damage to my body.” 

The decision was not made easily by Madonna who is known for her intricate performances. She does confess however that she has no remorse for prioritizing her health.

“I have never let an injury stop me from performing but this time i have to accept that there is no shame in being human and having to press the pause button,” Madonna wrote. “I thank you all for your understanding, love and support.”

Madonna hasn’t revealed the reason for the pain, but BBC News has reported a torn ligament and “bad knee” has been bothering her.
