Madonna kicked off her Celebration Tour at London’s O2 Arena, located in the Millennium Dome complex, on Saturday night, marking her first performance since a “severe bacterial infection” led to his hospitalization in an intensive care unit for several days in June, according to what his manager had indicated.
“I’m on the road to recovery and I’m incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,” the pop star wrote on Instagram this summer, shortly after the news.
I am now focusing on my health and I assure you that I will be back with you as soon as possible.
On stage, Madonna, 65, said she had had a crazy year, and neither she nor her doctors thought she would make a recovery. She said her children encouraged her and she had to survive for them.
The opening night of the tour also marked the 27th birthday of his daughter Lourdes Leon, who appeared on stage with her famous mother.
