Singer Madonna has opened up about undergoing near-death experience and miraculously waking up from a coma.
During her recent show of The Celebration Tour, the 65-year-old singer spoke about the bacterial infection that landed her in the ICU last July. While introducing her doctor, Dr. David Agus, and more of her medical team present in the audience, the singer noted that it was ‘pretty scary’.
The Material Girl singer explained she was not prepared to die just yet, hence, when she woke up [from a medically induced coma], the first word she said was ‘no’, according to the singer.
The Popular singer continued, “I’m pretty sure that God was saying to me, ‘Do you wanna come with us? You wanna come with me? You wanna go this way?’ And I said, ‘No. No. No!”
Madonna went on to shout out Dr. Agus for putting up with so many entertaining phone calls from her who instructed her to ‘go out in the sun’ in response to all her queries.
“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 sounds insane, but it was difficult, and I didn’t know when I could get up again and when I could be myself again and when I would have my energy back,” she said by adding, “It was a strange thing to finally not feel like I was in control. And that was my lesson to let go.”
Madonna also credited her children, who really helped her pull through. The singer recently sang Popuar with Canadian singer The Weeknd.
