Madonna is reflecting on her recovery from last summer's health scare that left the Queen of Pop in a coma for 48 hours in ICU.
“Happy 4th of July,” the superstar wrote alongside a series of adorable selfies and snaps from her glitzy celebration in New York with pals. For the festivities, Madonna opted for a silky red dress, paired with matching fingerless gloves and layers of silver jewelry.
“One year ago today, I had just come home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness, I could barely stand in my yard holding a sparkler,” she continued in the caption. “I made a miraculous recovery and had an amazing year. Thank you my God. Life is Beautiful!”
In June 2023, Madonna spent several days in the hospital due to a bacterial infection. The illness forced the star to put her massive career-spanning Celebration tour on hiatus, though rescheduled dates began in the fall and continued through the spring earlier this year.
Madonna released her first statement since her hospitalization in July, thanking fans for their positive energy and assuring she is feeling better. “I have felt your love. I'm on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,” the singer wrote.
The six-month Celebration tour closed with $225.4 million and 1.1 million tickets sold at 80 shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.
The Celebration tour is Madonna's sixth trip to gross more than $100 million. The only other acts to achieve this are the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and U2, making her the only female in this elite group.
