Madonna revealed she was put into a medically induced coma while hospitalized over the summer.
Madonna, 65, shared details of her medical mystery with the crowd during her Barclays Center stop of “The Celebration Tour.”
“I was in an induced coma for 48 hours,” Madonna said to the crowd in a video captured by a fan. The musician revealed that her Kabbalah teacher was the one by her side throughout the coma. “The only voice I heard was his. I heard him say, ‘Squeeze my hand.’
“When I first became conscious, and I saw my six incredible children sitting around me — by the way, I had to almost die to get all my kids in one room.”

Madonna claimed her friend Shavawn “saved [her] life” after the “Material Girl” singer passed out in her bathroom.
“There are some very important people in the room tonight that were with me at the hospital. There’s one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital,” Madonna said. “I don’t even remember. I passed out on my bathroom floor and woke up in the ICU.”
Before her current tour, Madonna was hospitalized on June 24 for a “serious infection.”

Madonna’s ICU stay was first announced by her longtime manager, Guy Oseary.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead (sic) to a several day stay in the ICU,” Oseary wrote on Instagram at the time. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”
The “Vogue” singer had planned to launch her “Celebration Tour” in July, which also marked her 40-year anniversary in the entertainment industry.
