Madonna thanks the 'incredibly talented' kids who joined her on the holiday tour

Madonna's Celebration tour is a family business. And in a new one Instagram Posting on Thursday (April 25), the pop icon thanked her son David and daughters Mercy, Stella and Esther for serving as both her support system and co-stars on the ongoing journey.

“On the day before our 80th concert on the Holiday tour, I have to acknowledge my incredibly talented kids for taking me on this Journey,” she wrote, sharing a carousel of snaps of her kids on and off stage. “Each of them brings their own unique talent to the stage.”

During Madge's latest series, which began in October, each of her adopted children had their own moment on stage. Mercy accompanies her mom on the piano during “Bad Girl,” David duets with the seven-time Grammy winner on “Mother and Father,” and twins Stella and Estere dance together on “Don't Tell Me.” .

“Rehearsals started over a year ago with almost a 2-month break waiting for me to recover from a near-death experience,” she continued, referring to the shows she had to postpone due to her severe bacterial infection and subsequent hospitalization last year. “They never stopped practicing… they never stopped cheering me on and supporting me… They also went to school and rehearsed every night. !! . I'm very proud of all of them.”

Madonna is also mom to daughter Lourdes Leon, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Carlos Leon, and son Rocco Ritchie, who she shares with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She and the director adopted David shortly after the “Material Girl” singer founded her charity Raising Malawi in 2006. She later adopted Mercy, then Stella and Estere — all three of whom are also from Malawi — as a single mother .

The new post comes a day after Madonna talked about touring with her children in an interview tour-kids-family-photos-interview?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaas7V_RrsOuOAVom14sOwF4yNPGcEOaJDrgxYs14oeyosc2hDjjbRK-M74_aem_AX_MSFXzrHLxiin_G44hwNTzE1bF8ucadYeQ5Zsd1-ZJGTxOkvziIUew7emsNhiIr2taK-I2chAuGvMviHxrlJpa” target=”_blank”>W Magazine. “When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness to know that we're all working on the same show creating the magic together,” he told the publication. “It would be boring if they traveled from hotel to hotel and occasionally came to watch the show.”

“Of course, I'm also their mother, so sometimes we get on each other's nerves,” she added. “We're a family of artists but we're also a family and that's what happens.”
