Madonna Opens Up About Near-Death Experience in L.A. Concert: ‘God Was Saying, “You Wanna Come With Me?” And I Said, “No!”‘
At the opening of a five-night stand at L.A.'s Forum, Madonna thanked her doctor and told more about coming out of an induced coma last summer.
At the opening of a five-night stand at L.A.’s Kia Forum Monday night, Madonna was in the mood to share about the severity of her health emergency last summer, thanking the doctor and other medical personnel who were in the audience who helped her during and after the days she spent in an induced coma. He and other members of her support team and immediate family were on hand at the concert and came up for mention during a funny, pointed, seemingly impromptu nine-minute speech she gave late in the show, preceding a version of “Express Yourself” she played solo on an acoustic guitar. Madonna began the speech by talking about motherhood as a theme in the narrative progression of the oft-autobiographical show, once it enters the 2000s, following the 1990s, which she said were about “a lot of sexual provocation, experimentation, truth or dare… You can all thank me for allowing you to have the courage to come out,” she said, tongue perhaps not entirely in cheek.
