Madonna: Celebs Rumors

Madonna gave a tearful speech about surviving a bacterial infection earlier this year during her ‘Celebration’ show in Belgium last night (October 21).The legendary artist spent several days in ICU in June, which lead to some of the dates on her 40th anniversary tour being postponed. It was reported that the singer’s relatives were initially “preparing for the worst” when they discovered how unwell she was.While Madonna had touched on her illness during her recent four-date run at The O2, she spoke about it in more detail last night. Incidentally, she also said she was feeling unwell at the present moment and she had taken to the stage an hour behind schedule.“Less than four months ago, I was in the hospital and I was unconscious and people were thinking, predicting that I might not make it,” she said.

Celebration Tour, Madonna turns back time, via video clip — specifically, to the time Cher called the Queen of Pop “mean,” during a 1991 interview.“Yeah, but I’ve called her much worse,” Cher, 77, told The Post during a lengthy interview. Still, the “Believe” singer — who released her first holiday LP, “Christmas,” on Friday — gives Madonna credit for the way that she has expressed herself over her four-decade career.“You know, she’s had her moments babe,” she said.

Madonna took a moment to address the current Israel-Hamas conflict while on stage at The O2, expressing her exasperation at how human beings are capable of “being so cruel to one another”.The artist urged the crowd to “remember we are human beings here” because “we cannot lose our humanity” and to make a difference by bringing “light into the world”.Madonna had addressed the conflict briefly in the early shows of her four-night run of ‘Celebration’ shows at the London arena, saying on the opening night that “watching what’s happening in Israel and Palestine” breaks her heart. On the third show on October 16, however, she expanded on her comments.“Nobody wants to see what’s happening,” she said.

Can we make something you feel confident doing?’ The number one reason for doing that is it’s all about the vocals,” he responded.“To give a singer the platform to sing and be themselves is the number one goal.
