Madonna Recalls First Words After Coming Out of Coma, Struggling to Walk After Hospitalization

Madonna recalled her first words after her coma and struggling to walk after fighting off a bacterial infection. See what she said at her concert.

Madonna is in the middle of a five-night concert run at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., as part of her Celebration Tour, but less than a year ago, she wouldn’t have been able to even walk onstage. During her Monday (March 4) concert, the 65-year-old superstar revealed that the severe bacterial infection she suffered in June 2023 — which led to her hospitalization and the postponement of her current trek — at one point made it nearly impossible for her to move around. She’s currently scheduled to stay on the road through April 26, when she’ll conclude the six-month run with a show at Palacio De Los Deportes in Mexico City.
