Madonna says she was in a medically induced coma for 48 hours: ‘I passed out in the bathroom, I woke up in intensive care’

Madonna revealed that she had been in an induced coma for 48 hours upon admission to hospital. In June, the singer was in intensive care treating a “serious bacterial infection” and she had to postpone her Celebration tour.

In a recent show, the singer provided new details about her. In the artist’s last performance in Brooklyn, United States, she said she was in a medically induced coma after fainting in the bathroom of her home.

“There are some very important people here tonight who were with me in the hospital. There is a very important woman here. I don’t even remember, I passed out on the bathroom floor and woke up in the ICU. I was in a medically induced coma for 48 hours. Saved my life, thank you Shawn,” Madonna said of her friend and assistant.

Then she repeated that she was in a coma, mentioning another presence on the show who helped her during her hospitalization. She said she could only hear the voice of her teacher of Kabbalah, a mystical branch of Judaism, saying, “Shake my hand.”

Finally, Madonna joked that she “almost had to die” to get her six children together in one room and reflected, “When I realized that, I thought ‘what if I leave my kids?’ It would destroy me.” . . I thought about how scared my mother must have been when she left and she had to leave all her children behind.”
