Madonna says ‘it is nice to be alive’ after main well being scare

The Queen of Pop not too long ago celebrated her sixty fifth birthday on August 16.

Madonna posted to X (previously Twitter): “It’s great to be alive […] and amazing to be able to put on my dancing shoes and celebrate my birthday. I’m so grateful.”

In an earlier put up to the social media platform, Madonna stated: “Thank you for your incredible support and patience over these past few weeks!”

Madonna needed to make some changes to her newest music tour when she was hospitalised again in June.

Her longtime supervisor, Guy Oseary, stated on the time: “On Saturday, June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection.”

The an infection brought about Madonna to remain within the intensive care unit (ICU) for a number of days.

On July 10, Madonna thanked her followers for all their “positive energy, prayers, and words of healing and encouragement”.

The mum-of-six informed her followers she was “on the road to recovery” since her well being scare.

Madonna shared: “My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children.

“My second thought was that I didn’t need to disappoint anybody who purchased tickets for my tour.

“I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.”

Which bacterial an infection did Madonna have?

While the precise bacterial an infection Madonna suffered from has not but been revealed, there are experiences that Madonna may have suffered from sepsis.

Sepsis is a life-threatening situation, the NHS confirms, which “can be hard to spot”.

The NHS explains: “[Sepsis] happens when your immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage your body’s own tissues and organs.”

Also generally known as blood poisoning, the situation requires speedy therapy in hospital.

Antibiotics must be given throughout the hour of arriving at hospital, however hospitalisation could also be wanted for a number of weeks.

Madonna on the BBC is airing on Saturday, August 26 at 10pm on BBC Two.
