Earlier this month, Madonna broke her silence after winding up in the ICU.

“I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,” Madonna wrote in a statement she shared on Instagram.

“My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone,” she added. “My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can!”
