Madonna - Hospitalization was a wake-up call for her
Madonna (65) was very emotional at her concert in New York on Saturday. As "Page Six" reports, the singer also addressed her collapse on stage, which brought her to intensive care in June.
"The fact that I'm here now is the fucking miracle," Madonna said on stage at the Barclay Center. She is further quoted as saying, "There are a few people in this room tonight who were in the hospital with me."
Woman named Siobhan saved her life
She was also referring to the woman who found her. "There's a very important woman who dragged me to the hospital ... I passed out on the floor of my bathroom and woke up in intensive care," the pop star recalled. The woman named Siobhan "saved lives", Madonna said. She had been in intensive care for several days due to a serious bacterial infection.
She continued: "When I first came to, I saw my six incredible children sitting in the lobby." And joked: "By the way, I almost had to die to get all my kids in one room - I know, that's a bit funny." Madonna is mother to Lourdes Leon (26), Rocco Ritchie (23), David Banda (18), Chifundo James (17) and 11-year-old twins Stella and Estere. "But they were all pretty scared and I didn't understand what was going on," she continued.
Madonna: "That would destroy me"
The situation in the hospital reminded her of her mother, who died of breast cancer at the age of 30. "She was all alone," she said of her mother. "And I thought: 'What if I leave my children? That would destroy me, to leave my children at that moment in their lives." She wouldn't have thought about herself in the hospital, but about her mother "and how scared she must have been because she knew she was leaving us all behind."
She concluded with the thesis that "crazy, damn things happen to us" so that "we realize what other people are going through". And assured: "I don't take any of this for granted."
