Madonna reveals the first word she said after 'near-death experience'

Madonna recently shared details about her harrowing experience with a serious bacterial infection that led to a near-death encounter and subsequent hospitalization last year. The pop icon, aged 65, was placed in an induced coma and spent several days in intensive care due to the severity of the infection.

Her talent manager issued a statement at the time, confirming the health scare and the need for Madonna to pause all commitments, including her tour. However, a full recovery was expected, and Madonna has since returned to the stage, performing at the Celebration World Tour shows in Los Angeles.

During one of her performances, Madonna emotionally recounted her ordeal, describing it as a 'near-death experience' that deeply impacted her. She shared that the first word she uttered upon waking from the induced coma was a resolute 'no', which she interpreted as a sign from a higher power.

Reflecting on the challenging year, Madonna expressed gratitude for her children who were by her side during the ordeal. She acknowledged the support of her loved ones and the protective presence of angels that she believes guided her through the crisis.

Despite the physical and emotional toll of her health scare, Madonna remains resilient and determined to continue sharing her life story through her performances. She emphasized her unwavering spirit and determination to persevere, noting that her children have always been her source of strength and salvation.

Madonna's candid revelations about her health journey serve as a testament to her resilience and the profound impact of her near-death experience. Fans continue to show their support for the iconic singer as she bravely navigates the challenges and triumphs of her life both on and off the stage.
