Madonna is discussing how bad her health issue was last summer.
She told the audience during the start of “The Celebration Tour”‘s five-night run in Los Angeles that her doctor, Dr. David Agus, and other medical team members were in attendance.
“It was strange to finally not feel like I was in control,” she said of the bacterial infection that sent her to the ICU in July.

According to the footage of her remarks, Madonna went on to say, “I’ve fallen from a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones. I have a titanium hip. The list goes on and on, but nothing will stop me.
Madonna, who has previously discussed her recuperation during tour performances, called her medical episode a “near-death experience.”
“I am not kidding. It was quite scary. Obviously, I didn’t realize for four days because I was in an induced coma. But when I awoke, the first thing I said was ‘No.’ Anyway, it is what my assistant tells me.”
She said, “I’m pretty sure God was saying to me, ‘Do you want to come with us?'” Do you want to come with me? Do you want to go this way? And I replied, “No. No. No!”
She described Dr Agus as “a very special man in the audience tonight.”

“He has put up with many funny phone calls from me. “When I was sick this summer and couldn’t walk from my bed to the toilet, I called him every other day and asked him why I didn’t have any energy,” she explained. “When was my energy going to come back? When was I going to feel like myself again? When can I go on tour again? When, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when And all he said was, ‘Go outside in the light.'”
When she replies that her flawless skin results from staying out of the sun, Dr. Agus says, “Go outdoors in the sun. “You need vitamin D to keep your kidneys working.”
“And I hate the sun, but I did it anyways, and it was so hard for me to walk from my house to the backyard and sit in the sun,” she said. “I know that seems insane, but it was difficult, and I had no idea when I’d be able to get up, be myself, or regain my energy. It was bizarre to finally feel out of control. That was my lesson about letting go.

She ended with a thank you to “everyone who’s here who looked after me and listened to all of my endless complaining and need for predictions that I couldn’t have.” You are patient and compassionate, and you still are. You still help me care for everyone I know who is sick. Thank you so much wherever you are.
Finally, she expressed gratitude to her children, who “really helped me pull through, because they worked so hard and…I didn’t want to let them down.”
